• Learn and apply Solarflare/Xilinx technologies including ef_vi, OpenOnload, TCPDirect, and related kernel-bypass frameworks.
• Help build and improve internal tools for monitoring, debugging, and visualizing low-latency network performance (latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput, etc.).
• Contribute to diagnostics and performance analysis utilities used by engineering and operations teams.
• Troubleshoot and tune networking issues at the hardware, driver, and application layers with senior support.
• Collaborate on hardware integration, performance testing, and new feature development.

Benefits

• Fully remote position with flexible hours.
• Opportunity to work on mission-critical, ultra-low latency trading infrastructure alongside an experienced Senior Engineer.
• Strong mentorship and rapid learning opportunities in high-performance networking and systems programming.
• Collaborative, performance-driven engineering culture.
