- Drive architectural discussions and ensure implementation of clean, modular, and scalable designs.

- Provide technical mentorship, code reviews, and best practice guidance to development teams.

- Translate product requirements and user stories into robust technical solutions.

- Oversee software design, system integration, and performance tuning activities.

- Design and implement applications using C++ with deep understanding of OOP, STL, and design patterns.

- Develop high-performance, multithreaded, and cross-platform software solutions using Qt, GTK, or ElectronJS frameworks.

- Optimize application performance, memory usage, and responsiveness in non-garbage-collected environments.

- Implement secure, efficient, and reusable code adhering to best coding and documentation standards.

- Work on cross-platform software development (Windows, Linux, macOS, Embedded).

- Apply advanced knowledge of memory management, pointers, profiling, and debugging tools such as Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, or gperftools.

- Develop software for embedded systems and IoT devices, including firmware and middleware components.

- Interface with file systems, I/O peripherals, and device drivers on Embedded Linux or RTOS.

- Handle cross-compilation, toolchain setup, and build systems like CMake or Bazel.

- Design and implement networked systems using TCP/IP, HTTP/REST, WebSockets, or XMPP.

- Work on client-server and peer-to-peer architectures.

- Integrate secure communication protocols, encryption, and authentication mechanisms.

- Develop native extensions or modules for languages like Node.js, Python, Go, or Java.

- Use GTest or equivalent frameworks for unit testing and automated regression validation.

- Work with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to ensure continuous delivery.

- Manage Git or SVN repositories following structured branching and release strategies.

- Create and manage virtualized environments using Docker, VMware, or similar technologies.

- Develop and deploy software in containerized or sandboxed environments.

- Collaborate with DevOps teams to optimize deployment pipelines and performance monitoring.

- Work on software components related to cryptography, authentication, and identity management.

- Familiarity with blockchain frameworks like Ethereum or Hyperledger.

- Understand cryptographic algorithms (hashing, asymmetric encryption, digital signatures).

- Participate in cybersecurity analysis, ethical hacking, and vulnerability assessment efforts.

- Engage in R&D activitiesbrainstorming, proof-of-concept (PoC) development, and MVP creation.

- Stay current with emerging technologies and frameworks in systems programming and distributed computing.

- Encourage innovation, experimentation, and adoption of new tools and methodologies.
