About the company

Our client is a fast-growing technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take charge of an internal engineering platform, strengthening its reliability, capacity and fit with neighboring technical teams. The work centers on core systems and infrastructure, with close day-to-day partnership alongside research and data colleagues.

What you'll do

- Build and extend an internal platform used for large-scale data production.

- Integrate the platform closely with research and data teams so it fits their daily workflows.

- Improve reliability and scalability to keep pace with rising demand.

- Take on core infrastructure and distributed systems work across the platform.

- Debug complex issues and write efficient concurrent and asynchronous code.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 3 to 7 years of software or infrastructure engineering experience.

- Strong background in distributed systems, platform engineering and scaling.

- A track record of taking an internal platform from early stages through growth as its primary engineer.

- Quick code comprehension and problem-solving, including low-level debugging on the JVM and async or concurrent I/O.

- Ability to partner closely with research and data teams rather than working only at the application layer.

- Results-driven, highly committed and comfortable in an intense, in-person early-stage team.
