• You demonstrate solid understanding of systems programming (memory management, concurrency).
• You are skilled at refactoring legacy code and documenting migration steps.
• Prompt engineering experience is a strong plus.
• Your level of English is advanced (C1) or above.
• You are ready to learn new methods, able to switch between tasks and topics quickly and sometimes work with challenging, complex guidelines.
