Why would you love this job?
As a manager and a member of the core platform group, you will lead designs and implementations of new features while maintaining maximum performance, investigate complex real-world issues, and develop the datapath components that support over 200 million ops/sec at sub-millisecond latency with true linear scalability.
Our ideal candidate is an experienced C++ team lead who has worked with multithreaded code in a Linux environment and can approach complex problems creatively and with an open mind. You are a people person, a quick learner, always eager to learn and improve, and love to work and collaborate with bright team members and coworkers.
If you’re all that, fun to work with, and want to make an impact while contributing to a wildly successful startup, then this is the right challenge for you.
What You will do:
- Manage and lead the DMC group, overseeing the planning, design, and delivery of its core features.
- Contribute (HO) to the development of proxy features, while debugging, maintaining, and improving the Redis Datapath infrastructure to support thousands of databases and millions of requests per second.
- Own the team’s backlog, define improvements, and implement effective processes to ensure smooth workflows.
- Recruit, mentor, and facilitate the growth and development of team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
- Collaborate closely with Redis architects, product managers, and other R&D teams to define, plan, and design features and projects owned by the team.
What You’ll Need to Have:
- At least 10 years of software development experience, including a minimum of 5 years as a leader with a proven track record of leading technical teams and delivering large-scale distributed systems.
- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 and beyond) and backend development, along with deep expertise in networking focused on low-latency, high-throughput communication and efficient management of high-volume connection lifecycles in distributed systems.
- Extensive experience with multi-threaded architectures, as well as memory and CPU optimization techniques to enhance performance.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD methodologies and automation tools, combined with familiarity with Agile/Scrum frameworks for iterative development.
- A strong belief in collaboration, transparency, and accountability within the team, supported by excellent interpersonal skills to foster a positive and motivated team culture.
- A proven ability to take ownership of domain responsibilities, deliver results, and address challenges with a proactive, “can-do” attitude.
- A continuous improvement mindset, with a focus on driving innovation and refining processes to achieve technical and team excellence.
Extra Great If You Have
- Significant experience in designing and implementing distributed systems - a major advantage.
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases, especially Redis, and their practical applications.
- A track record of participating in end-to-end big data or large-scale performance optimization challenges.
