- Mastery of Modern C++ (>20)
- Familiarity with Python
- Experience working on embedded systems and timing sensitive environments
- Intimate understanding of the interface between the Linux kernel and userspace applications.
- Passion for developing well tested frameworks and infrastructure that just works day in and day out for years to come.
- Motivated by working directly with other teams to understand their needs.
Bonus:
- Experience building frameworks and infrastructure with large user bases.
