- Advanced knowledge of profiling, memory leak detection, and static/dynamic code analysis.
- Experience with modern C++ standards (C++11, C++14, C++17).
- Prior experience in Test-Driven Development (TDD) and working within a fast-paced Agile development team.
- Specific experience in developing real-time or ultra-low latency systems is highly preferred.
