Systems Engineer

Reposted 5 Hours Ago Remote Hiring Remotely in United States Entry level Remote Hiring Remotely in United States Entry level Design and build advanced applications, integrate external APIs, and contribute to large open-source codebases for global clients. The role requires strong systems programming, networking, memory management, concurrency, operating-system concepts, data modeling, parallelism, API design, and technical documentation skills. Candidates should learn quickly, take ownership, navigate unfamiliar codebases, identify edge cases, and continuously improve through feedback. The process includes a technical assessment, interview, and OSS hackweek. The summary above was generated by AI, As a Systems Engineer, you’ll help to scale the engineering teams of our global clients and build cool stuff. From designing advanced applications to integrating with external APIs, your expertise will drive innovation and success.

• Able to open up abstractions (i.e ability to debug down into source code for C++ / Rust / GoLang and understand how things work)
• Solid networking experience (WebSockets / TCP / HTTP / UDP)
• Strong command of memory management and concurrency (thread-safe data structures, atomics, understanding weak vs strong refs)
• Strong ability in data structures and modelling - ability to model different systems and integrate them
• Strong grip on OS level sys-calls and how they map into application-level codebases
• Ability to understand large codebases without getting lost in them
• Strong understanding of high-performance computing and parallelism (Queues, Multi-threading and message passing)

• Key eye for beautiful interfaces and abstractions (API Design, System Architecture Docs) Product-wise

• Ability to master different domains very quickly
• Excellent at documenting and creating technical design docs
• Fine eye for edge cases (i.e ability to find out what breaks things and thinking deep into what could go wrong)

TLDR: join a career accelerator for developers by developers. Alumni have joined companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google or founded their own.
