Silicon45 | kdb+/q Expert | Contract (part-time OK) | Portland, OR (Hybrid) or Remote

We're building a heterogeneous execution platform to accelerate data analytics and ML workloads, and we're looking for a deep kdb+/q expert to work alongside our hardware acceleration team. You'll focus on kdb+ internals, query optimization, and the C API, helping us understand how queries execute under the hood, where the bottlenecks are, and how to integrate acceleration into kdb+ workflows.

Looking for: expert-level kdb+/q, engine internals, query planning/optimization, C API extensions, performance analysis. Nice to have: exposure to hardware acceleration concepts.

Apply: email [email protected] with your resume and a short note on 1-2 performance-critical kdb+ systems you personally built or optimized.
