o C/C++ (low-level or performance-sensitive networking components)
o React with TypeScript (frontend applications)
Experience building APIs using REST and/or gRPC
Familiarity with development and collaboration tools:
o Jira for task tracking
o GitHub for source control
o CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
o Code quality platforms (SonarQube or similar)
Experience developing on or for Linux systems (Debian preferred)
Strong understanding of software quality practices, including unit testing and code
reviews
Ability to balance technical leadership with people management responsibilities
Strong communication skills and ability to align team efforts with broader organizational goals
