- Front-end development (typescript, React or similar frameworks)
- Demonstrable understanding of memory management and allocation strategies across multiple languages and runtimes to ensure smooth, consistent and highly reliable operation
- Proven ability to write performant, low-latency, and optimized code, particularly when dealing with very large data payloads (multi-gigabyte to terabyte scale).
Desired Skills:
- Prior experience working directly with hardware development, bring-up, and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with data storage technologies
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) for data storage and deployment infrastructure.
- Bachelor's or master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Skills Required
- 12+ years of professional software development experience
- Expertise in C, C++, Rust, TypeScript, or Python
- Deep understanding of memory management and allocation strategies
- Proven ability to write performant, low-latency code
- Experience designing and implementing firmware and high-speed buses
