Software Engineer

Location: New York, NY Compensation: $400K to $1M+ total compensation, with flexibility for exceptional candidates

Overview

This role sits inside a technically rigorous engineering organization where performance, scale, reliability, and computational efficiency have direct consequences. The work spans distributed systems, large-scale data infrastructure, high-performance computing, and mathematical and analytical tooling, with engineers, researchers, and quantitative thinkers working side by side on shared problems.

The position is not defined by a fixed specialty. Engineers take on problems that are computationally intensive and often ambiguous, own them from architecture through production, and are expected to reason from first principles rather than execute against a predetermined roadmap. The emphasis is on building new platforms and tools, not maintaining existing ones.

Candidates across experience levels will be considered. The common requirement is exceptional technical ability and a demonstrated record of standing out.

What You'll Do

• Design and build sophisticated systems for complex, computationally intensive workloads • Develop high-performance distributed systems that process and react to very large volumes of data • Take ownership of critical systems from architecture through implementation and production • Improve scalability, reliability, latency, and computational efficiency across core systems • Build new platforms and tooling rather than maintain…
