• Apply defensive‑programming principles (input validation, buffer limits, encryption, …) in both C and C++;
• Participate in pull‑requests, mentor junior developers and spread best practices.

And, as a bonus, depending on your interests:

• Optimise our CI pipeline (security‑test deployment, static analysis, build artefacts);
• Become an internal trainer, run Tech‑Talks, take part in innovation days…;
• Share your favourite domain (reverse engineering, driver development, cryptography, etc.).

What is the technical environment?

• Languages: C (C99/C11), C++ (C++ 17/20)
• Windows development: Visual Studio 2019‑2026, SDK/WDK, COM, kernel‑mode drivers
