Your Story

  • You have experience designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality C++ code for software applications.
  • You conduct thorough testing of software applications and perform necessary debugging.
  • You feel comfortable working in VSCode, Docker and Linux.
  • You don’t mind writing some backend JavaScript and Linux config files when necessary.
  • You feel comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams to define software requirements and specifications.
  • You speak English fluently. (French is a plus)
