• Strong understanding of version control systems, preferably Git
• Knowledge of multithreading, parallel computing and inter-process communication for efficient concurrent applications

While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate.
