What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer (C++/Rust) position at databento?

The financial industry is growing at a record pace, but our data providers are still stuck in the past — with cumbersome onboarding processes, complicated APIs, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing costs.

Databento is the next generation market data provider — with the radical idea that you should only pay for the data that you use. We power the world's largest finance and fintech institutions and lower the barrier of entry for small startups, gaining over 4,000 users during our first year of launch. Our team brings former experience at the world's leading quantitative firms, including Two Sigma, Flow Traders, Tower Research, PDT Partners, SIG, and more.

We're looking for a midlevel or senior IC to join our core engineering team. Our team is responsible for all things C/C and Rust, and the most performance-sensitive parts of our codebase. You'll be working with nearly 20 PB of data, with thousands of bare metal CPU cores at your disposal.
