Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to .NET, C#, or modern C++ standards (C++14/17/20).
• Experience with Fortran-to-C++ migration or interoperability.
• Familiarity with scientific computing, engineering applications, or financial modeling systems.
• Knowledge of version control (Git), build systems, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience working in regulated industries (pharma, aerospace, energy, or financial services).

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and architectural thinking.
• Ability to balance short-term fixes with long-term modernization goals.
• Clear technical documentation and knowledge-sharing mindset.
