  • Excellent instincts for software architecture
  • Knowledge of performance optimization/profiling tools
  • Knowledge of proper memory management
  • Knowledge of unix, shell scripting, and python
  • Ideal but not required: Bachelors in technical field; 5 years’ experience

What you’ll be doing

  • Optimizing a high-performance multithreaded stack-based VM, as well as ancillary functionality (disk I/O, computation metering, network)
  • Identifying bottlenecks through profiling, and evaluate design choices for accelerating computation flow
  • Designing and implementing architecture improvements
  • Contributing to developer tooling
  • Tech stack: C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, git

Why work with us

  • Work on extremely challenging problems with massive potential impact
  • Competitive salary, along with equity
