C++ Developer Needed — $2,500 Fixed-Price Project I am looking for an experienced C++ developer to complete a project with a fixed budget of $2,500. I am looking for someone who can write clean, maintainable C++ code and communicate clearly throughout the project. ## Project The project involves developing a C++ application according to a detailed specification that will be provided to the selected developer. Budget: $2,500 fixed price Language: C++ Expected experience: C++17/20 or newer, depending on the project requirements. ## Hiring Process To make sure we select the right developer, the hiring process will include a small technical test before the main project starts. The test will be a simplified task related to the actual project and should take approximately 1–2 hours. The purpose of the test is to evaluate: * C++ programming skills * Code quality * Problem-solving ability * Understanding of requirements * Error handling * Testing approach * Communication The test is intended as a short evaluation, not as a replacement for the main project. Candidates who successfully complete the test will be considered for the $2,500 fixed-price project. ## Example Technical Test As part of the evaluation, you may be asked to implement a small C++ program that: * Reads structured data from a file * Validates the input * Processes the valid data * Handles invalid records without crashing * Produces a specified output * Includes basic tests * Provides simple build/run instructions The exact test specification will be provided to shortlisted candidates. ## What I Would Like to See in Your Proposal Please provide: 1. A brief description of your C++ experience. 2. Examples of relevant C++ projects you have completed. 3. Your experience with C++17/C++20/C++23. 4. Your availability. 5. Your estimated timeline for the $2,500 project. 6. A brief description of how you approach testing and debugging.

The final developer will be selected based on the overall quality of their proposal, technical test, experience, and communication.
