You will dig into memory profiles hunt down GC pressure eliminate allocations and write code that is has a deep awareness of memory layout and hardware architecture to ensure maximum cache-locality and performance If your first instinct for solving a performance problem is to optimize a data structures memory layout not to add a Redis cache you are the person were looking for.

Your Opportunity :

  • Design develop and maintain complex scalable and high-performance systems with a focus on writing clean efficient and maintainable code.
  • Aggressively reduce memory allocations and GC pressure using profiling tools (like PerfView dotTrace YourKit) and advanced techniques (e.g. object pooling custom data structures Span

  • Provide input on architectural design and participate in technical planning to ensure long-term maintainability and compliance with standards.
  • Analyze and articulate the trade-offs of different low-level design choices (e.g. bitmap vs. free-list allocators array vs. list memory layout speed vs. memory).
  • Participate in the design and development of new features integrations and enhancements to software applications databases and interfaces.
  • Collaborate with other staff engineers to drive technical direction and foster a culture of collaboration continuous improvement and memory-aware development.
  • What Youll Need :

  • A Systems Mindset : You are fluent in bit manipulation and pointer / offset arithmetic (even if its abstracted). You can calculate the memory overhead of your own metadata.
  • A Track Record of Performance Tuning : You have a story to tell about a time you used a profiler to find a bottleneck and made a non-obvious low-level fix.
  • Language Experience : 4 years of professional experience. This role is language-agnostic but your experience in C C Rust C# or Java is preferred.
  • Requirements : BSc in Computer Science / Engineering (or equivalent experience) and US Citizenship (for security clearance).
  • And Ideally :

  • Deep C / C / Rust Experience : A background in these languages is strongly desired. If youre a C# or Java developer were looking for you to have this experience or a provably equivalent low-level mindset.
