Tech Lead C++

We’re working with an Israeli startup building an execution engine for large-scale data workloads. The platform accelerates analytics by unifying pipelines, reducing execution overhead, and maximizing compute efficiency, with the team owning over 90% of the execution path.

The company is entering a strong growth phase, with much of the engineering focused on building new platform capabilities.

What You'll Do

Design and develop core runtime and execution-engine components in C++.

Shape how workloads are planned, scheduled, and executed across the runtime, CPU, and FPGA acceleration layer.

Design and improve the runtime systems that drive resource allocation and workload orchestration.

Optimize performance across memory management, concurrency, data movement, and execution efficiency.

Investigate bottlenecks and redesign execution paths to improve throughput and efficiency.

Contribute to architectural decisions across a platform that is still being actively built and evolved, with significant influence on technical direction.

Mentor engineers and help drive technical excellence across the team.

What We're Looking For

7+ years of software engineering experience.

Strong C++ development experience (C experience is also relevant).

Deep understanding of multithreading, synchronization, memory management, and performance optimization.

Experience building performance-sensitive systems where efficiency and scalability matter.

A systems-oriented mindset and the ability to reason across multiple layers of the stack.

Experience in leading projects, driving technical direction, or managing engineers - big advantage

Interest in areas such as runtimes, execution engines, databases, compilers, infrastructure, or other low-level systems.

Backgrounds That Tend To Fit Well

Database and query execution engines.

Compiler, runtime, or execution-engine development.

Distributed systems and infrastructure platforms.

Storage systems and data infrastructure.

High-performance computing.

Performance-critical backend or systems software.
