Principal Engineer

Algox2

Principal Engineer

New York City or remote (US/EU time zones) Engineering full time

AlgoX2 is building a next-generation data-streaming platform for AI workloads. The system is multi-core, single-threaded, and built on formal code generation (see openacr.org). Experience with OpenACR is not required—only a commitment to writing software with uncompromising reliability.

Language and Approach

We use a small, strictly defined subset of C++, closer to a safer C. Object-oriented constructs are avoided entirely. All programs are written as real-time in-memory databases, emphasizing determinism, predictability, and verifiable behavior.

About the Platform

AlgoX2 unifies stream processing, connectors, and lakehouse gateways into one fault-tolerant cluster running on commodity hardware. It delivers 10× higher throughput and up to 90% lower total cost than legacy stacks, with microsecond latency and full Kafka compatibility. It also supports Redis, NATS, and MQTT.

The Role

As a Principal Engineer and early team member, you will help design and implement the system core, working directly with PCI, NVME, InfiniBand, and formal code generators. The role values correctness and conceptual clarity over speed or volume.

Responsibilities

Design and build core platform components in a formally specified environment
Ensure reliability, determinism, and performance across all subsystems
Collaborate with founders on technical direction and design philosophy

Requirements

Strong background in C++ or low-level systems programming
Understanding of computational complexity and how computers actually execute code
Preference for correctness and simplicity over optimization
Ability to work within a minimal, disciplined language subset

Nice to Have

Familiarity with Kafka, Pulsar, or traditional RDBMS systems
Experience with large-scale, high-throughput, or real-time environments

Compensation

Competitive salary with meaningful equity
Clear path toward senior or leadership roles
