- Investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks to ensure our API services scale effectively.
- Author detailed technical specifications (RFCs) to contribute to our robust design process.
You have:
- 4+ years of experience developing software as part of a collaborative team.
- Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and information retrieval.
- Proficiency in writing server applications in languages such as Go, Python, Rust, C#, Java, or C++, and a willingness to work across languages when needed.
- Experience supporting production web services at scale.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to advocate for and lead technical discussions, especially during design and code reviews.
- A solid grasp of software design patterns and the ability to build reusable, extensible, and modular components.
- Familiarity with existing frameworks and open-source tools, coupled with a willingness to develop new ones when gaps arise.
- A passion for performance optimization, debugging, and benchmarking.
- Excitement about joining a team where autonomy is encouraged.
- An open, empathetic mindset and a commitment to fostering collaboration and putting the best ideas forward.
Bonus points:
- You have experience with blockchain technologies or cryptocurrencies.
