The work environment is primarily remote, but opportunities exist for social events and team collaboration.
Must have:
  • 3+ years C/C++ development experience
  • Client-side network programming
  • Multi-threaded programming experience
  • Memory-resource-conscious development
Perks:
  • Remote work
  • Hackathons and social events
