Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Ukraine (Ajax Systems is a Ukrainian company headquartered in Kyiv); US benchmarks do not apply.
The posting is written in Ukrainian. The required skills section ('Необхідні знання та навички') gates on 4+ years of C++ (C++11/C++14), Boost.Asio, async/threading understanding, unit/integration testing, and Git/CMake/GDB fluency.
Unit/integration testing and TDD are mentioned in the required section, but TDD is explicitly called a 'plus' within that same sentence — TDD is treated as preferred; general testing ability is a hard gate but names no specific framework, so no skill entry is emitted.
The 'Буде плюсом' ('Nice to have / Plus') section covers Linux/POSIX, Bash, embedded systems experience, streaming video, RTP/RTCP, FFmpeg, and OpenCV — all marked preferred.
No compensation figures are disclosed; the posting mentions 'competitive salary' only in qualitative terms.
The title carries no seniority level; 4+ years of C++ experience with large-system design scope maps to Mid on the actual requirements.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
