Staff Engineer - Remote

View full description

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience building large-scale, high-load, distributed systems.
• Proficient in Java, C++, or Rust, with a strong understanding of networking protocols (TCP, HTTP, WebSockets) and event-driven architectures (Netty, Vert.x, etc.).
• Hands-on with Linux and containerisation, comfortable deploying containerized services at scale.
• Problem Solver & Debugger: You relish the challenge of tackling complex issues in production and can dissect them methodically.
• Remote Team Player: Excellent communicator who thrives in a distributed, asynchronous environment.
• Curious Hacker: Driven by an insatiable desire to learn, explore, and try new tools/techniques.

Responsibilities:

• Design distributed systems that operate at global scale, spanning OCI, GCP, on-prem data centers, and even edge devices that run code within minimal footprint.
• Optimize services written in Java, Python, Rust, and Node.js to handle massive throughput. Tweak networking protocols, memory usage, and concurrency models to push the limits of what’s possible.
• From brainstorming features to shipping production code, you’ll be involved in every phase—design, implementation, testing, deployment, and beyond.
• Partner with platform, product, and data science teams to deliver seamless solutions. You’ll also coach and mentor fellow engineers, sharing your expertise in scalable architecture.
• Drive continuous improvements in performance, observability, and reliability. Advocate for testing, code quality, and robust DevOps practices.
