• Familiarity with parallel programming (e.g., OpenMP) and micro-optimization techniques.
• Strong analytical skills and trouble-shooting ability. Strong sense of responsibility and ownership.
• Experience in vector similarity search algorithms or GPU programming (e.g., CUDA) is preferred.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation (cash equity).
• Regular bonus and equity refresh opportunities.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and global reset/wellbeing days.
• Generous 401(k) and regional retirement plans.
• Hybrid work model/Remote work opportunities available.
