- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- 4+ years of professional experience developing production software in C++ for systems, performance-critical, or large-scale applications.
- Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 and later), including templates, move semantics, smart pointers, and the STL.
- Strong background in systems programming concepts such as concurrency, operating systems, low-level performance optimization, and memory management.
- Hands-on experience with C++ build systems, compilers, linkers, debuggers, and profiling or analysis tools.
- Minimum C1 English proficiency (written and spoken), with the ability to write clear technical explanations and follow detailed English-language guidelines.
- Proven experience conducting detailed C++ code reviews and enforcing coding standards for safety, performance, and maintainability.
- Comfort working with version control, CI/CD workflows, and automated testing frameworks in modern C++ projects.
Preferred:
- Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.
- Highly detail-oriented and systematic, with a methodical approach to evaluating reasoning quality and identifying subtle issues in complex C++ code.
