You ideally will have

• Proficiency in Nim programming language, with hands-on experience developing and maintaining Nim projects.
• Experience with C, C++, Rust, or similar, especially in systems or embedded programming contexts.
• Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms.
• Experience with concepts such as parsing, lexing, and semantic analysis, especially as they relate to compilers or language tooling.
• Familiarity with Nim’s standard library and ecosystem, including asynchronous programming, networking, and multi-threaded programming.
• Experience maintaining or contributing to package managers or similar developer tooling (e.g., Nimble).
• Understanding of language server protocols and experience working with or developing language servers.
• Proficiency in Git.
• Strong debugging and testing skills, with the ability to identify, report, and resolve issues across multiple projects.
