• Optimize existing algorithms for efficiency and scalability.
• Implement multi-threaded solutions to improve processing speed and concurrency.
• Integrate third-party libraries and APIs as needed.
• Debug and resolve complex software issues.
• Collaborate with the internal team to ensure seamless integration of new functionalities.
• Write comprehensive documentation and maintain clean, well-structured code.
• Conduct thorough testing, including unit tests and performance benchmarks.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Strong proficiency in C++ (C++11 and later preferred).
• Experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and parallel computing.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
• Familiarity with performance profiling tools and debugging techniques.
• Experience with socket programming and network protocols is a plus.
• Knowledge of real-time systems and low-latency programming.
• Proficiency in using version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in financial, gaming, or simulation software development.
• Knowledge of GPU computing (CUDA/OpenCL) or SIMD optimization.
• Background in distributed systems and high-performance computing.
• Understanding of containerization and microservices architecture.

Project Duration and Compensation:

• Expected project duration: 3-6 months, with potential for extension.
• Competitive hourly rate or fixed project-based payment, depending on experience and scope of work.
• Flexible working hours with an option for partial remote work.

Location: While this position is based in Seattle, WA, we welcome applicants who are open to remote collaboration with periodic on-site meetings as required.

Application Process: Interested freelancers should submit their resumes along with a portfolio of past C++ projects, GitHub repositories, or any relevant code samples. A brief cover letter outlining experience related to real-time data processing and performance optimization will be highly valued.
