## About the role

Own the layer between Nominal's compute engine and the user: streaming over WebSockets, orchestrating web workers, handling columnar data formats, caching intelligently, and processing live and historical data on the client. You'll design generalized data and compute capabilities that serve today's product and the use cases we haven't met yet, so that new panels, new query types, and open-ended user-defined visualizations can be built quickly on the stability and guarantees already in place. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years experience building products for technical users where you’ve been involved in the infrastructure behind demanding, data-heavy applications
- Strong experience with TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture, along with an understanding of how frontend systems interact with backend services
- Experience building high-throughput data applications in the browser, with hands-on use of web workers, WebSockets, columnar formats such as Apache Arrow, and canvas or WebGL/WebGPU rendering
- Strong product instincts. You naturally ask "Why are we building this?" before "How should I implement it?" and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions when you believe there's a better solution for users
- A systems mindset. You enjoy reasoning about data models, user workflows, and how complex systems should behave before jumping into implementation
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical and product tradeoffs clearly across engineering, design, and product teams
