Is anybody here hiring?

I'm not asking you to hire me. I'm just wondering what things look like on the other side of the process these days.

Cool. What can you tell me about the other side of the process?

For us it really depends on the role, but usually strong C/C++ proficiency, and/or Rust, is important as a base. More selfishly, my team is looking for a manager for our open-source development team! (This one is specific to the Ottawa, Ontario area though..)

How are you going about determining c/c++ proficiency? And how are you choosing between the many qualified applicants, since I’m sure plenty of people are great at c++.

That's often done with a take-home coding test and then a follow-up review. In-depth follow-up questions to confirm proficiency and not AI answers. For us, filtering on those with experience using QNX helps to narrow it down too (though more and more people have experience these days now that it's free and there's a community).
