•    Experience using Visual Studio for C++ development and debugging.
Additional Technical Skills
•    Python development experience, particularly for integrating external computational logic.
•    Experience integrating a C++ application with Python-based services running inside Docker containers.
•    Familiarity with event-driven, cross-process, or IPC-based execution models is a plus.
Nice-to-Have Skills
 
•    Experience with Borland C++ or Embarcadero C++ Builder.
•    Experience with the Qt toolkit.
•    Familiarity with MATLAB for understanding early data science prototypes that may later be translated to Python.
 
Ideal Candidate Profile
 
•    Comfortable working with C++ code.
•    Strong debugging mindset.
•    Enjoys improving stability, correctness, and performance of existing systems.
•    Works effectively with guidance from architects and technical leads.
•    Open to collaborating across disciplines (C++, Python, data science).
