Requirements
• 10+ years of experience in systems programming, networking, or performance-critical infrastructure • Deep Linux expertise, including kernel behavior, networking internals, and performance tuning • Proficiency with packet analysis and network debugging tools • Experience with performance profiling and tracing (perf, eBPF, flamegraphs, etc.) • Strong programming fundamentals; depth matters more than language • Track record of diagnosing complex issues spanning application, OS, and hardware layers • Clear, direct communication • Experience in domains where latency and performance are first-order constraints (e.g., HFT, real-time systems, low-latency networking, kernel-adjacent infrastructure, high-performance distributed systems) • Custom memory allocators or deep memory subsystem optimization • Virtualization internals and passthrough networking (SR-IOV, vDPA, etc.) • Kernel-adjacent work (eBPF programs, driver debugging, custom modules) • olana or blockchain infrastructure experience • $220,000 - $275,000 a year • Above-market total compensation and multiple forms of equity
Responsibilities
• To design and implement low latency network solutions for our clients. • To monitor system performance to ensure optimal operation of networking infrastructure. • To troubleshoot issues related to the networks we manage on a regular basis. • To maintain documentation regarding systems engineering processes, methodologies, tools used, etc. • To collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders for project success. • To stay updated with latest trends in networking technology and apply them as needed.
Benefits
• All-expenses-paid team retreats and conferences • Weekly meal voucher • We’re a small, profitable company with real product-market fit. That means: • High ownership: you drive major technical decisions and shape the direction of the system • Fast execution: we ship quickly and iterate on real-world behavior • Technical depth: the problems are real, complex, and intellectually demanding • Sustainable: strong financials allow us to focus on long-term impact, not runway
