Reporting to a Software Engineering Manager you will work with your Technical Lead to estimate, build and improve projects.

  • Writing clean, maintainable, extensible code while helping others to do the same through mentorship and constructive feedback.

Your Qualifications

  • Familiarity with C++ or an eagerness to learn it.
