8 points by Antarus on Sept 24, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments
I'm looking to find a remote job for a C++ software developer and I'm in need of some advice. Currently I'm an university student, following my Computer Science degree, and I've been working as a research engineer for a few months now. My qualities consists in : -Worked with large teams in an Agile Environment; -Worked with DevOps; -Experienced with QT, VS2015 and OpenCV; -Developed image processing algorithms, industrial planning and CAD software; -Strong data structures knowledge; -Experience with version control using GIT and CVS; So knowing that, where would you recommend me to seek for a job and what would my chances of getting a remote job do you think would look like?


Try one of the placement agency/testing outfits https://triplebyte.com/ failing that try Toptal or Clevertech or transformify.org or other contractor type outfits to gain experience.

A lot of blockchain companies hire for C++ devs


Getting a remote job with no experience working in general or working remote in a narrow niche without many remote opportunities like C++ is going to be really hard. I would suggest getting some experience at an office based C++ gig (try to negotiate a work from home day) or go for remote with a different stack.


Goto remote job sites. Search for c++. Find a role you like. Apply or get better at requirements and then apply. Examle: http://www.scylladb.com/career-post/software-developer/


You’re a noob, and your chances increase greatly if you get some experience.
