Job Overview & Responsibilities
We’re a driven R&D team, solving hard-core computer science problems at all levels of the stack. What we do isn’t easy: We design hardware, build an operating system, pump data around at rates that need to saturate network and make optimum use of the CPU. All in all, we’ve created an new enterprise-grade database from scratch. Our database is used by customers on-premises and in the cloud.
Your job is to get data between servers across complex networks and software stacks, in parallel, with high throughput, low latency and reliability. You'll be building processes to move data from different storage systems (such as databases, S3/MinIO and disc) and different third party applications (such as ETL tools, Kafka and Spark) into and out of our database as fast as possible, in a cloud native microservices environment. This means you need to thrive in multi-threaded systems level programming in Java. You'll have a flair for creative solutions for integrating with big data ecosystem products such as Spark, Kafka, and cloud technologies like S3. You have a deep understanding of scalable algorithms and concurrency, and you're comfortable working with the intricacies of the TCP/IP stack, RSocket, and other networking protocols.
You'll have the opportunity to work across the entire software stack for our comprehensive data warehousing solution, both on-premises and cloud-native, which includes almost every aspect of Computer Science from operating systems to user interface and everything in between.
We’re based just off Trafalgar Square in the heart of London, and typically work from the office three days a week. We have great benefits, flexible vacations and an exceptionally talented engineer crew to learn from.
