Containerization: Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s).

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.
