• Contributing to custom developments for key clients, tailoring solutions to their specific needs, particularly within our Professional Services offerings.
• Managing and maintaining legacy components (libraries and resources) for existing clients, while driving future developments of the VDK.
• Implementing and improving development processes, including end‑to‑end testing, code reviews, and performance tuning.
• Ensuring the quality of deliverables by maintaining high standards for the codebase and documentation using tools such as Confluence and Jira.
• Contributing hands‑on to the codebase, serving as a key technical contributor to ensure the continued evolution of the VDK.
• Addressing the challenges of embedded systems, optimizing solutions for various hardware platforms, and managing constraints across target platforms.
