C++ Developer

Ahrefs is looking for a backend developer with deep understanding of networks, distributed systems, OS fundamentals and taste for simple and efficient architectural designs.

In this role, be prepared to deal with petabytes of live data, highly-optimized custom storage engine and Linux on a daily basis.

Basic Requirements:

• Proficiency in C++, including basic C++20

• Working experience with linux system-level programming

• Independently deal with bugs, schedule tasks and investigate code

• Make well-reasoned technical choices and take responsibility for them

• Understand the whole technology stack at all levels: from network and user-space code to OS internals and hardware

• Approach problems with a practical mindset and suppress perfectionism when time is a priority

• Write flexible, maintainable code and adapt to post-launch requirements/tweaks

These requirements stem naturally from our approach to development with fast feedback cycle, highly-focused personal areas of responsibility and strong tendency to vertical component splitting.
