About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement low-latency distributed systems running on edge hardware
  • Write high-quality C++ or Rust code with strong attention to memory safety, determinism, and performance
  • Build real-time data pipelines for high-throughput sensor and video streams
  • Design IPC mechanisms between perception, control, and device subsystems
  • Optimize memory layout, CPU utilization, and concurrency patterns
  • Debug complex production issues involving race conditions, memory fragmentation, and performance bottlenecks
  • Profile systems using low-level tools to eliminate latency spikes and tail latency issues
  • Build reliable pub/sub and message-passing architectures under unreliable network conditions
  • Ensure systems remain stable under constrained compute, limited memory, and high I/O load

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in systems programming with C++ preferred; Rust experience highly valued
  • Deep understanding of multithreading, lock-free structures, and concurrency primitives
  • Experience building distributed systems or real-time processing pipelines
  • Strong algorithmic foundation and solid understanding of data structures
  • Experience debugging memory issues using profilers, sanitizers, and performance tracing tools
  • Familiarity with Linux internals, networking stacks, and system-level optimization
  • Experience working on embedded platforms or edge compute environments

Bonus Points

  • Experience with real-time Linux or low-latency kernel tuning
  • Familiarity with high-throughput networking or zero-copy architectures
  • Experience building systems on NVIDIA Jetson or similar edge hardware
  • Knowledge of CUDA or GPU memory management
  • Experience designing resilient pub/sub architectures

Skills and qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 3+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software (experience with edge systems, robotics infrastructure, or real-time platforms highly preferred)
  • Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) with experience in Rust highly valued
  • Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency primitives, and lock-free data structures
