What the team is looking for:

• Strong, production grade, modern C++ (17/20/23/26) and its fundamentals (object lifetimes, memory and resource management, and data lifecycle)
• Meaningful experience with performance-sensitive or high-throughput systems and exposure to more than one layer of a larger system (e.g. ingestion, processing, and output or execution)
• Comfortable both writing new code from scratch and working within existing codebases.
