-Understanding of different g++/gcc command line options.
-Using gdb.

The role will act as our lead developer, and will head up the future expansion of our development team. This is a chance to play an integral part in the future build out of the business.

The following skills would be a plus:

-Modifying Makefiles, or using CMake.
-Scripting languages (Perl, Python, BASH)
-Some database experience
-Virtuoso level of skill with Linux syslog configuration and diverting its contents to the right places over a network.
-Experience opening holes in firewalls to let our ports pass through unimpeded.
-FIX order handling

We offer an extremely competitive salary commensurate with experience, bonus, and the possibility of a future profit share in the firm. Please send resume and optional cover letter describing your degree of familiarity with the above to: resume54964@gmail.com.
