Examples of things we do: * Implement large scale changes to the C++ code base using Clang LibTooling * Create a testing framework or improve test coverage tracking * Work on expanding continuous integration and deployment * Design and implement more performant or more maintainable replacements for existing software components * Automate manual tasks such as deployment, testing, or performance monitoring For this position we require strong CS background, and considerable experience with C++, preferably C++11 or later. Python and Unix shell scripting experience is a plus. It is also a plus if you generally keep up with the new technologies, and often think about ways to leverage the latest tools, libraries, and standards for your work.
