To jump to the bracket matching the one under the cursor you can use
forward-sexp and backward-sexp, bound to M-C-f and M-C-b by default.

Also, you can see the matching pair highlighted at once without jumps
turning on show-paren-mode. As you want this for C-like modes

   (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook
             '(lambda ()
                (show-paren-mode 1)))

would turn it on automatically.
