- Expert-level C++ programming skills and the ability to design high-performance, thread-safe, and memory-efficient systems in a Linux environment

- Ability to work across multiple programming languages and paradigms
- A passion for writing robust, intuitive, and pragmatic production code.
- Ability to navigate and work effectively in large codebases
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work autonomously and collaborate effectively with colleagues across time zones.
