Hire Dimitrios

Senior Freelance CMake Developer

I’m passionate about computer architecture design, distributed computing, HPC and anything related to low-level engineering or requiring to achieve low latency performance. For programming languages I’m using C, C++-17/20 and Python3 on a daily basis. From time to time I also implement CUDA kernels. My preferred compiler is clang along with its tools (clang-tidy and so on) and for build systems I prefer to use Makefiles/CMAKE or Meson+Ninja. I'm comfortable writing assembly in any architecture and I’m familiar with Vector extensions for various architectures(x86/64, Risc5, ARM). In general I have a solid understanding of the underlying hardware components and how to utilize them for performance gains. This also includes concurrency, synchronization primitives and crafting bare metal kernels. In the past I also had to implement compiler infrastructures (including JIT using LLVM-C++-API) for various architectures and emulators. **Finally, one of my #1 skills is that I have many years of different startup environment experience. I believe startups are the best way to progress fast in your career as long as you are able to absorb and process the massive amount of information broadcasted. In the end a startup is no different than a big corporation without the available resources.**

FAQs

Why hire a CMake developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a CMake developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote CMake developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire CMake developers?

To hire a CMake developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Arc offers three services to help you hire CMake developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time CMake developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire.

If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 350,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted CMake developers.

Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right CMake developer for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.

Where do I hire the best remote CMake developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire CMake programmers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find CMake developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote CMake developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their CMake developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote CMake developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire CMake developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find CMake developers for hire.

How do I write a CMake developer job description?

Writing a good CMake developer job description is crucial in helping you hire CMake programmers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote CMake developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
