Profiling, tuning, and refining systems to optimize latency.
Evolving platform architecture to scale with growing data demands.
Working closely with researchers and engineers to ensure clean, usable data across the business.

What We're Looking For
Proven experience solving (ultra) low-latency challenging problems in C++(version 17 or above).
Bachelor's/Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar, from top global university.
