Job description
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior C++ Performance Engineer to design and deliver high-performance, low-latency C++ components that power real-time commercial performance systems, including dynamic pricing, demand forecasting, and sales analytics .
This role sits at the intersection of data science, machine learning, and production-grade infrastructure, ensuring that performance-critical logic runs at optimal speed while integrating seamlessly with platforms such as Databricks, Airflow, Kubernetes, and Microsoft Azure .
-----------------------------------
Key Responsibilities
* Optimize machine learning inference pipelines using C++-based engines (e.g., ONNX Runtime, TensorRT ) to achieve sub-millisecond latency .
* Develop custom C++ User-Defined Functions (UDFs) callable from Databricks Spark jobs via JNI or external processes .
* Integrate C++ components within Kubernetes-managed microservices and Airflow workflows .
* Collaborate closely with data scientists and ML engineers to productionize models under strict performance constraints.
* Deploy and manage C++-based services using Terraform and Azure infrastructure.
* Profile, benchmark, and optimize performance-critical code using tools such as perf, Valgrind, and Google Benchmark .
* Define and contribute to platform-wide performance standards and best practices for C++ in large-scale data systems.
-----------------------------------
Required Skills & Qualifications
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
* 5+ years of professional experience in C++ development, with strong expertise in:
o Modern C++ (C++17 / C++20 / C++23 )
o Performance optimization (CPU, memory, cache efficiency)
o Low-level programming (pointers, memory layout, alignment)
o Multithreading and concurrency (std::thread, atomics, locks)
* Proven experience building high-throughput, low-latency systems (e.g., trading platforms, real-time analytics).
* Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for deploying C++ services.
* Experience integrating C++ with external systems (REST APIs, gRPC, shared libraries).
* Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
* Exposure to data platforms such as Databricks, Spark, or Kafka (as a consumer is sufficient).
-----------------------------------
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
* Experience with ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, or TVM for ML inference in C++.
* Hands-on experience building C++ UDFs for Spark/Databricks (JNI or external execution).
* Contributions to open-source C++ projects or performance-oriented libraries.
* Background in commercial analytics, pricing, or supply chain systems .
* Familiarity with Azure services (AKS, App Services, Azure Monitor).
Why choose us
* An international community bringing together more than 110 different nationalities
* An environment where trust is central: 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry level
* A strong training system with our internal Academy and more than 250 modules available
* A dynamic work environment that frequently comes together for internal events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.)
