  • 2+ years of experience in securing data streaming and remote execution (e.g. WebSockets, gRPC)
  • Strong background in writing modular/functional code (e.g. Onion architecture).
  • 2+ years of experience "hacking the cloud." You must know your way around cloud services and architecture or be an expert at figuring it out.
  • Background/interest in ML is a big plus

Benefits:

  • Flexible Work Policy: You can choose to work on-site or remotely, and we are happy to support your relocation to Berlin or London if needed.
  • Stock Options: We offer above-market stock options to every employee.
  • Home Office Setup: You will be provided with an M1 MacBook or your preferred workstation to help set up your home office. Alternatively, you can receive $1500 in cash.
  • WFH Allowance: We provide a monthly allowance of $150 to cover the expenses of maintaining your battle station while working from home.
