  • Build and optimize fast, efficient queries over large analytics datasets to deliver actionable insights for customers.
  • Develop robust, productiongrade systems while rapidly prototyping new ideas and capabilities.
  • Own features across all phases of the software development lifecycle: conception, requirements definition, functional specification, software design, implementation, test, and documentation.
  • You will work with a cross-functional team, comprised of software engineers, implementation engineers, product managers, QA engineers, and network operations specialists to develop innovative software solutions that meet our customer requirements.

What makes you an ideal candidate

  • Solid technical background with a BS/MS in Computer Science, Math, Physics, or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on experience delivering and maintaining complex software systems in production environments.
  • Proven expertise in C++ (C++17 or newer), with solid objectoriented design skills and experience in multithreaded and IPCbased systems.
  • Working knowledge of database technologies such as ClickHouse, MariaDB, or similar analytical and relational data stores.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize, multi-task, and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
  • You are familiar with GenAI development tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot and apply them thoughtfully as a pair-programming aid to streamline coding and testing workflows.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Python or another scripting language.
  • Linux operating system knowledge (i.e., configuration, administration, and networking).
