Hadean | SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER (Parallel Computing, Big Data) | London | ONSITE, VISA

Hadean is working to eliminate the barriers to large-scale distributed compute. We're rethinking every level of the stack, from isolation technology to zero-allocation networking to distributed datastructures. The applications of our technology range from financial market prediction and climate modelling to deep learning and synthetic biology.

We're looking for a brilliant systems-level implementor to join us in London who matches ≥6 of the following:

  • loves C
  • loves Rust
  • has a wide array of ambitious self-directed projects
  • has got their hands dirty writing technically complex systems, such as:
    ◦ a high-performance database/KV store
    ◦ an OS
    ◦ a programming language implementation
  • enjoys writing roughly–performance-optimal code
  • enjoys writing roughly–reliability-optimal code (static/bounded memory allocation)
  • has used EPOLLET
  • has used io_submit + O_DIRECT
  • has bypassed the Linux kernel (for fun and/or profit)
  • has written on top of paravirtualisation APIs
  • enjoys reverse engineering
  • [insert your own comparable points here]
Our team runs the gamut — systems, distributed systems, compilers, scientific computing, professors, famous computer scientists — and is well-funded to change the landscape of compute.

If intrigued, drop us an email with how you match up to the above list to [email protected]

We're rethinking every level of the stack, from isolation technology to zero-allocation networking to distributed datastructures. The applications of our technology range from financial market prediction and climate modelling to deep learning and synthetic biology.

What we need from you

  • Autonomous - Able to construct a case study without supervision
  • Adaptable - Able to learn new domains quickly, like genomics or the intricacies of linear algebra
  • Algorithmic expertise - We are parallelising complex applications, and you will be deciding what data to send, and when.
What we can offer you

  • Interesting problems where you can apply the full range of your CS knowledge and skills 
    ◦ high-level software architecture
    ◦ low-level debugging
    ◦ theoretical understanding of computing
  • Cool environment - We're still very small
  • Impact - Big clients, and every line of code matters
  • Novel work - Solving problems that no one else has been able to
If this excites you and you match ≥4 of the following, we’d love to hear from you:

  • Loves C, C++, and/or Rust
  • Has a wide array of ambitious, self-directed projects
  • Able to work at various levels of stack, high to low-level
  • Able to reason about the space, time, communication complexity, and requirements of different algorithms
  • Enjoy implementing sophisticated algorithms
  • Solved problems using distributed and/or shared-memory parallelism
  • Enjoy performance optimisation and low-level debugging

It baffles me that this is even a discussion, haha.

If we were talking about whether it was REEEEALLY necessary to do something that required loads of effort and money, I could understand the resistance.

Is it helpful under many or most circumstances? Yes Does it require an infinitesimal amount of effort? Yes Why WOULDN'T you do it? Ego...
