Job Description: We believe in bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and the drive to transform knowledge into impact. Here, your curiosity fuels progress, your voice shapes innovation, and your ambition helps redefine what’s possible within science and learning. We are a culture that obsesses over impact, challenges, and drives what’s next to power infinite possibilities for our customers, colleagues and society at large. About the Role: Senior Software Engineer (P3) – C++ / KnowItAll Platform Wiley Science Solutions Wiley Science Solutions builds and maintains the world’s most trusted spectral and chemical intelligence platforms. Our databases contain millions of rigorously curated spectra across mass spectrometry (MS), infrared (IR), Raman, NMR, and UV‑Vis—used every day by scientists who depend on correctness, performance, and traceability. At the center of this ecosystem is KnowItAll : a long‑lived, high‑performance Windows application that integrates spectral analysis, chemical data management, searching, and visualization across many techniques and file formats. KnowItAll is not a thin front‑end—it is a deeply engineered system that has evolved over decades and remains mission‑critical for laboratories worldwide, often running offline or in regulated environments. The Role This role is for senior C++ engineers who enjoy working on substantial, real‑world systems and improving them over time. You’ll work hands‑on in a large, mature C++ codebase (Windows / MFC) where performance, determinism, and scientific correctness matter every day. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will contribute meaningfully to the ongoing modernization and evolution of the KnowItAll platform. You’ll take ownership of non‑trivial areas of the system, refactor legacy components, and implement new capabilities—working closely with Principal Engineers and domain experts to ensure changes are correct, maintainable, and backward‑compatible.
