• Share knowledge of your areas with the wider team

Essential experience we are looking for:

• 3+ years experience writing C++ in a professional environment

• You will have clear communication, both verbal and written

• You will have excellent attention to detail, when writing and reviewing code
• You will enjoy problem solving complex issues with a curious and inquisitive mind
• You will be technically competent and interested in building out a product (ie, what the product should do, what else can make the product great)
• You will be collaborative, working with the team to build a product and knowledge share
• You will be pragmatic in the way you approach writing code
• You will be passionate to expand your knowledge
• You will have the resilience to keep experimenting
