• Experience with network stack: L1, L2, TCP, UDP;
• Expertise in modern x86-64 architecture;
• Any experience in competitive programming contests (IOI, ICPC, Hash Code) or CTFs.

We expect

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and juggle multiple daily tasks and deadlines;
• Intellectually curious, with a desire to learn new skills;

• Ability to share new knowledge and skills with the team.

What we offer

• A dynamic and international environment within a fast-growing tech company;
