- DevOps: Proficiency with Git and building automated CI/CD pipelines.
What You’ll Bring To Us
- Proven Expertise: 6–10 years of professional software development experience, with at least 6 years dedicated to C/C++ in performance-critical environments.
- Technical Breadth: A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, including memory management, concurrency, and network protocols.
- Leadership Mindset: The ability to navigate ambiguity and provide technical clarity to junior engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Quality First: A rigorous approach to high-quality coding standards and a "fail-fast" mentality in testing.
