How to Become a Freelance C++ Developer
Do you like to work on large, enterprise-level software projects?
Whether those projects are developing AI, working on the software powering robotics or self-driving cars, or using technology that powers the latest video games, becoming a C++ developer could be right for you.
What does a C++ developer do?
A C++ developer will design and develop software solutions, which could be purely software-focused or involve working with hardware. C++ has a wide range of applications and is a very mature programming language particularly popular with video game developers.
Because C++ is a relatively low-level programming language, it is also a popular choice for embedded systems and mobile applications. Developers may develop new software or work on maintaining existing projects, including as part of QA teams tasked with finding and fixing bugs.
A general list of tasks for C++ developers includes, but is not limited to:
- Working with, fixing, and running C++ codes
- Organizational and automation development
- Proper developmental documentation
The list goes on, but generally, you’ll have to be familiar and comfortable with running these tasks almost every day, depending on the company.
What skills do I need to become a C++ developer?
A BS in computer science, software development, software engineering, web development, or a related field is a common requirement of many employers. However, this can often be waived for developers with a strong portfolio or those who can demonstrate their skills through contributions to open-source projects on GitHub profiles.
Common skills a C++ developer should possess include:
- Strong foundational knowledge of the C++ language
- Familiarity with popular libraries such as Boost
- Understanding of the latest standards such as templating and languages such as Python, Javascript, and SQL
It can be difficult for freelancers to find work as C++ developers, but displaying some of your previous C++ work will help show your work to potential clients.
What are the job responsibilities of a C++ developer?
C++ developers will typically work as part of a larger team to maintain an existing project or to design and write solutions to develop a project, often using various tools and similar languages such as Java and C.
Familiarity with version control software, Linux development environments, and database technology is beneficial to a C++ developer. Daily tasks of a C++ developer include:
- Managing code releases and regularly committing to local SVNs or gits
- Designing tests for existing code and fixing bugs
- Developing software solutions to design documents, data structures, and algorithms and to meet client requirements
- Working with other software engineers, C++ programmers, web constructors, and software developers
