• Gain exposure to systems programming and developer productivity tooling
• Work with technologies including Rust, modern C++, Python, Bash, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks
• Collaborate closely with a small, experienced team that values autonomy and innovation
• Experience firsthand how a decades-long technology platform evolves while adopting modern cloud-native approaches

Your set of application documents should contain a cover letter, a resume in table form, school leaving certificates, certificate of enrollment, current university transcript of records, copies of any academic degrees already earned, and if available, references from former employers (including internships).
