Description
Our team is responsible for all things C/C++ and Rust, and the most performance-sensitive parts of our codebase. You'll be working with nearly 20 PB of data, with thousands of bare metal CPU cores at your disposal. Responsibilities - Design, develop, and maintain high-performance server applications in C/C++ and Rust. - Write message parsers and feed handlers for direct market data feeds from trading venues. - Optimize existing codebase for high throughput (millions of messages per second, up to 40+ gigabits) and low latency (measured in nanoseconds). - Implement tools and libraries for petabyte-scale data processing and analysis. - Collaborate with the systems team to implement best practices for build, deployment, CI/CD. - Implement monitoring and improve application uptime. - Ensure smooth feature rollouts and updates. Preferred background - 5+ years of full-time software engineering experience, preferably at a trading firm, tech company, or high-growth startup. - Strong proficiency in C/C++ or Rust. - Knowledge of systems programming, algorithms, data structures, multithreading, networked I/O, serialization, CPU architecture, kernel, and compilers. - Experience working with multiprocess environments. - Comfortable with lldb/gdb. < Observed posted_at: 2026-07-20T09:16:17-04:00 Observed on: 2026-08-07 Remote signal: remote Salary: not published Source URL: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/databento/jobs/7989069 Tag hints: systems Rust, embedded Rust, backend Rust, performance engineering
