We are a customer-focused team spanning engineering, product, design, data, security, and business systems. As a Staff Engineer, you will play a critical role in shaping the architecture and backend systems that power Procore’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) and construction management solutions worldwide.

This position reports to a Senior Director of Engineering and is based in our Norway location. 

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and development of high-performance backend systems written in Rust/C/C++, powering Procore’s BIM and construction technology platform.

• Architect and build scalable, distributed services aligned with Procore’s service-oriented and microservices architecture.

• Own complex technical initiatives from concept to production, ensuring reliability, performance, and maintainability.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, Infrastructure, and Platform teams to deliver robust APIs and backend services.

• Establish and promote engineering best practices in system design, code quality, testing, and performance optimization.

• Drive architectural decisions that support enterprise-scale customers across international markets.

• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, providing technical leadership, code reviews, and design guidance.

• Anticipate scalability, reliability, and performance challenges in large distributed systems and proactively design solutions.

• Contribute to CI/CD, observability, and operational excellence across backend services.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

• 8+ years of professional experience building production-grade backend systems.

• Strong expertise in modern C++ (C++17/20 or later), including memory management, concurrency, and performance optimization.

• Experience designing and building distributed systems and microservices at scale.

• Deep understanding of multithreading, networking, and asynchronous programming.

• Experience with service-oriented architecture and API design (REST/gRPC).

• Familiarity with containerized environments and cloud-native infrastructure.

• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system-level design.

• Experience working with high-throughput, low-latency systems.

• Experience operating software at scale (thousands of hosts, millions of users).

• Track record of identifying architectural risks early and driving long-term technical strategy.

• Experience designing CI/CD pipelines and improving developer productivity.

• Strong documentation skills and ability to bring clarity to complex technical solutions.

• Ability to balance short-term delivery needs with long-term architectural vision.

Nice to Have (Bonus)

• Experience with 3D data processing, geometry engines, or BIM systems.

• Familiarity with linear algebra, computational geometry, or spatial indexing.

• Experience with Rust or performance-critical systems programming.

• Exposure to WebAssembly or cross-platform native modules.

• Background in graphics pipelines or handling large model datasets.

• Experience optimizing large-scale data processing pipelines.
