  • Proficiency in C/C++ programming and software development.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
  • Experience developing software in Linux or UNIX-like environments.
  • Solid understanding of Operating System, TCP/IP networking, POSIX APIs, and socket programming.
  • Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
  • Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies, tools, and development methodologies.

Assets:

  • Familiarity with machine learning (ML) and deep learning concepts, including supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, neural networks, and AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face.
  • Knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including prompt engineering, embeddings, fine-tuning, model inference, and resource-efficient AI deployment in Linux or embedded environments.
  • Basic knowledge of Linux/UNIX system administration and server management.

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.
