Jose is a founding engineer with 12 years of production experience and strong full-stack skills, but is dramatically overqualified for a junior-level, unfunded personal project. His background is in Python, TypeScript, and modern AI systems rather than C/C++, and his seniority level (founding engineer shipping to millions of users) mismatches a project explicitly seeking someone with little experience who will learn on the job. The role's expectation of junior-level compensation and learning trajectory conflicts with his founding engineer profile.
Hook: Your deep systems experience and ability to own architecture end-to-end could accelerate this project, though your seniority may exceed what this junior role requires.
Missing: C/C++ proficiency, C++20 experience, Strong embedded systems background, Willingness to work at junior skill level for an unfunded project

Junior | Remote | Any Time Zone I don't think I can afford hiring someone in north america, I'm not a company, this is a small project that'll take more than a year I'm looking for someone who understands C/C++ and would be willing to learn C++20. The codebase is small (<100k lines), and you'll be working with me to complete a project. I'll help you learn C++20 and various tools. I don't mind if you know very little, but you'll need to understand every line you write and be able to explain it to me. You'll be expect to problem solve alone. Email me something to look at. JurassicTyler@proton.me I don't need a resume. I rather look at code you written entirely yourself. Pick a specific file you think is interesting.
