Staff Systems Engineer (C++) at BairesDev
We’re looking for a Staff Systems Engineer with expert-level C++ skills and deep experience in the internals of distributed query engines. You’ve gone beyond writing performant code — you’ve defined how performance is measured, led optimization efforts across teams, and built the benchmarking infrastructure that makes that work possible. You’ll be taking on a senior IC role on query engine infrastructure that powers analytics for some of the largest data environments in the world, shaping technical direction and setting the standard for how the team approaches performance at scale.
