Software Engineer

A high-growth Infrastructure DeepTech startup developing a next-generation, high-performance database engine engineered for complex distributed environments. The company was founded by three serial entrepreneurs with a proven track record of multiple successful exits, presenting a rare opportunity to join an elite team building foundational, low-level data infrastructure from the ground up. The engineering culture centers on solving deep computer science problems, distributed systems architectures, and polyglot systems programming alongside tier-1 industry veterans. The office is located adjacent to a central train station, operating on a hybrid model with one day working from home. Role Description- Serving as a Backend / Core Systems Software Engineer, joining the foundational backend engineering squad to design and implement mission-critical modules for a revolutionary database engine. Building complex, high-throughput, and low-latency distributed components across a modern polyglot technology stack. Tackling deep systems-level engineering challenges spanning concurrency, storage internals, query engines, and distributed consensus. Continuously learning, adapting, and integrating cutting-edge tools, languages, and low-level architectural paradigms. Taking end-to-end personal ownership of feature development, from algorithmic design and code delivery through to rigorous benchmarking and production stabilization. Requirements- B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or an equivalent technological degree from a leading academic institution – Mandatory Outstanding analytical capabilities, strong algorithmic foundations, and a rapid, autonomous learning curve – Mandatory Passion for low-level systems programming, distributed systems, and core database internals – Mandatory Strong personal accountability, high agency, self-drive, and disciplined execution capabilities – Mandatory Excellent written and verbal communication skills in fluent English – Mandatory Practical hands-on development experience in backend or systems-level languages (e.g., C++, Rust, Go, Java) – Advantage
