About the role
We're looking for a midlevel or senior IC to join our core engineering team. Our team is responsible for all things C/C++ and Rust, and the most performance-sensitive parts of our codebase. You'll be working with nearly 20 PB of data, with thousands of bare metal CPU cores at your disposal.
What they're looking for
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance server applications in C/C++ and Rust
- Write message parsers and feed handlers for direct market data feeds from trading venues
- Optimize existing codebase for high throughput (millions of messages per second, up to 40+ gigabits) and low latency (measured in nanoseconds)
- Implement tools and libraries for petabyte-scale data processing and analysis
- Collaborate with the systems team to implement best practices for build, deployment, CI/CD
- Implement monitoring and improve application uptime
