  • Strong software development skills, including C++ and Python, with knowledge of best practices.
  • Ability to explain technical results and trade-offs clearly to teammates, in writing and in person.
  • Curiosity and a hands-on approach to debugging problems on real hardware and data.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
