    • Experience with formal programming language semantic specifications, proofs, and ability to translate them into code
    • Experience with formal verification including model checking, theorem provers and SMT-based approaches
    • Understanding of system-level language concerns such as binary formats, loading, ABIs, linking, and machine targets
