## What they're looking for

- 5+ years shipping client software, with deep C++ expertise, including the ability to work effectively inside a large, established codebase. Experience with Lua/React is a plus
- Released significant Windows or macOS applications. You know the platforms and their APIs throughout
- Debugging and profiling skills that hold up under pressure: tracing, root-causing crashes, and diagnosing performance problems across the full client stack and an enormous range of consumer hardware
- Fluency with concurrency and memory. Threading models and memory footprint are a must have to excel here
- A reflex for data. Metrics, logging, and experiments are how you find out whether a feature works, not how you justify it afterward
