What We Seek:

• Expertise in C++ programming with a strong grasp of the language's abstraction mechanisms and STL
• 3+ years of professional industry experience
• Finance/Tech background
• Proficiency with UNIX operating systems (particularly Linux), system/processor performance, and network communication
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and design optimization skills
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment
• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

Qualities We Value:

• Insatiable curiosity for all things computer-related
• A proactive approach to learning, tinkering, and exploration in spare time
• Ability to analyze and swiftly resolve issues
