• Good experience with developing software in major programming languages such as: C++, C#/.NET, JavaScript, etc.

• Familiarity with software design patterns (objected oriented design), Computer Science fundamentals/principles and methodologies, as well as knowledge of operating system internals

• Sharp debugging and problem-solving skills
