Intetics Inc., a global technology company providing custom software application development, distributed professional teams, software product quality assessment, and “all-things-digital” solutions, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Principal / Lead C++ Systems Engineer — Remote Desktop / WebRTC / VDI to join our dynamic team on a full-time basis.

We need a senior hands-on engineer to lead the design and implementation of a cross-platform remote desktop client built on top of an RDP-compatible/open-source foundation and optimized for real-time audio/video collaboration inside VDI environments. The role combines protocol engineering, multimedia optimization, desktop client development, networking/tunneling, and technical leadership.

Responsibilities

• Define the client architecture and technical roadmap
• Lead implementation of an RDP-compatible client with enhanced media and collaboration behavior
• Design and validate a strategy for audio/video optimization, redirection, compression, and additional data channels
• Own integration with tunnelled VDI connectivity and endpoint device handling
• Build proof-of-concepts and de-risk the hardest items early: media path, Teams/Zoom/Meet behavior, reconnect/session resilience
• Set coding standards, review architecture, and guide 2–4 implementation engineers
• Deliver executable, source code, documentation, and knowledge transfer at project close

Requirements

• 8–12+ years in C/C++ systems engineering
• Proven delivery of desktop client software on at least two of: Windows, Linux, macOS
• Strong background in real-time communications: WebRTC, VoIP, RTP/RTCP, SRTP, ICE/TURN, jitter/latency handling
• Experience with low-latency audio/video pipelines and media troubleshooting in constrained network conditions
• Experience with remote display / virtualization / VDI / thin client / protocol products
• Ability to work close to the protocol layer: transport, channels, device redirection, compression, session management
• Experience integrating or modifying open-source infrastructure and contributing back upstream when needed
• Strong performance mindset: CPU/GPU usage, memory footprint, startup time, reconnect behavior, QoS under packet loss

Will be a plus

• Direct experience with FreeRDP, RDP internals, virtual channels, or adjacent stacks
• Experience with media redirection/offload in VDI or thin-client products
• Deep knowledge of Windows audio/video stack, plus at least one of CoreAudio/macOS or PulseAudio/PipeWire/Linux
• Background in Qt or another mature cross-platform desktop UI framework
• Experience with FFmpeg, GStreamer, libwebrtc, hardware acceleration, echo cancellation, and device routing
• Security experience around secure transport, auth flows, certificate handling, sandboxing, and protocol hardening
