· Algorithm & Performance Optimization: Apply data structures, memory management, and graph search heuristics (e.g., A*, custom hashing, priority queues) to solve complex performance and indexing challenges.
· Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop and execute comprehensive unit, integration, and stress tests to validate network state synchronization, catch edge cases, and eliminate execution bottlenecks.
· Debugging & Problem Solving: Utilize low-level debugging tools (GDB, Wireshark) to trace memory leaks, analyze packet flow, and debug asynchronous multi-threaded or multi-client execution paths.
· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to design clean, modular codebases and maintain version control integrity across all release cycles.
Requirements
· Education: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline (GPA 3.5+ preferred).
· Core Languages: Strong proficiency in C++ and Python . Familiarity with C, C#, Java, SQL, or x86 Assembly is a plus.
· Systems & Networking: Solid understanding of TCP/UDP networking principles, socket programming, caching mechanisms, operating systems, and computer architecture.
· Tools & Environment: Hands-on experience with Linux/Bash , Git/GitHub , GDB , and Wireshark . Experience with SFML, Unity, or VR/AR engines is desirable.
· CS Fundamentals: Proven command of object-oriented design, algorithmic complexity, recursive problem-solving, and concurrent state management.
Desired Competencies: · Self-starter capable of managing end-to-end projects-from requirement mapping to comprehensive testing.
