About the Company
Our client, an innovative and rapidly growing tech company, is pushing the boundaries of decentralised data networks. They've developed a groundbreaking platform that scrapes and processes vast amounts of public web data for AI companies and Fortune 500 businesses, helping them stay ahead of the curve in data-driven decision-making.
Their cutting-edge decentralised network allows users to share unused bandwidth to access and process critical information, powering advanced AI training, financial insights, price tracking, and more. As they continue to grow, they are looking for a highly skilled Rust/GoLang engineer to join their dynamic engineering team.
Why You'll Love This Role
- Innovative Challenges: You'll be at the forefront of rebuilding a high-performance platform from the ground up using Rust or GoLang. The work involves complex, low-latency proxy network development, optimising systems to handle traffic faster than any competitor.
- Work with Pioneering Technology: You'll be building ultra-fast, decentralised systems with cutting-edge technologies like Rust, GoLang, Docker, AWS, Kubernetes, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
- A Collaborative, Fast-Paced Team: This is not your typical 9-to-5 job. You'll work alongside some of the best minds in the industry to create solutions that outperform major competitors in real-time data processing.
The Role
As a Senior Engineer, you'll lead the charge in optimizing low-latency systems, enabling the fastest data routing possible. You'll work on creating a proxy network that can process web traffic faster than anything currently available, achieving ping times under 4 milliseconds.
Your Day-to-Day
- Rebuilding and optimizing their platform, shifting from TypeScript to Rust and GoLang for performance improvements.
- Developing a low-latency proxy network that pushes the boundaries of speed and efficiency.
- Collaborating with a talented team of engineers, constantly innovating and refining the infrastructure.
- Driving decisions on technical strategy, best practices, and architectural direction.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Expert-Level Knowledge: You are exceptionally skilled in either Rust or GoLang, with deep experience building efficient, low-latency systems.
- Proven Problem Solver: You thrive in environments where you're expected to independently solve tough challenges. Stack Exchange is not your go-to - you're the one people go to when they need answers.
- Experience with High-Frequency Systems: You've built or optimised fast, distributed networks before, ideally in sectors like high-frequency trading, finance, or AI.
- Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: You're not afraid to challenge the status quo but understand the importance of teamwork and collaboration.
Nice to Haves
- Experience as a manager who wants to return to a hands-on, individual contributor role.
- A background in building and optimising proxy networks or similar infrastructure where speed and performance are critical.
Why Join?
- Salary & Benefits: Competitive base salary between £160k-£240k, with discretionary cash bonuses and potential equity/ownership options.
- Flexibility: Fully remote role with unlimited vacation - take the time you need, when it makes sense.
- Mission-Driven: You'll be part of a mission to revolutionise how web data is gathered and used in AI, shaping the future of decentralised technology
