Minimum hands on coding Capabilities -
Strong Object-Oriented Design & Modern C++ Thinking
- They expect candidates to think in terms of classes, objects, containers, and abstractions, not procedural C-style code.
- They want the candidate to create their own class structures, not just extend demo frameworks.
- Understanding of STL containers (Vectors, Maps, Lists, etc.), and when to use them, is critical.
- Focus on problem decomposition — breaking a scenario into meaningful objects and relationships.
Communication & Collaboration Skills
- Clear, calm, and continuous communication during coding rounds is highly valued.
- Ability to accept feedback and guidance gracefully — coachability is key.
- Should maintain dialogue during problem-solving;
Approachable tone and positive collaboration matter as much as coding
Preparation & Client Awareness
- Candidates must research the client company — know what the client does
- Awareness of industry domain (transportation, embedded systems, etc.) shows genuine interest.
- Lack of preparation is seen as low motivation or poor attitude.
They also want the candidate to be interested to work for CUBIC
Agile / Process Understanding
- Even technical hires are expected to understand Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, etc.
- A certified scrum master unable to explain these was rejected — so real practical knowledge of the process is expected, not just titles.
Education and Qualifications
Essential: Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
Desirable:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
- Certification in a relevant programming language or framework.
