Nice to have1
Experience in the gaming industry is strongly preferred, particularly in real-time rendering, graphics optimisation, game engines, or performance-critical applications
We are looking for an exceptionally strong Senior Systems Architect with deep expertise in high-performance application architecture, cross-platform engineering, real-time data processing, and graphics rendering. The ideal candidate will have experience building latency-sensitive applications where performance, responsiveness, and reliability are critical, preferably within the gaming industry or other performance-intensive domains such as financial trading, real-time analytics, or interactive applications.
This role requires a combination of systems-level thinking, advanced programming skills, and a strong understanding of modern web and mobile rendering technologies. You will architect shared, high-performance client-side systems across web, native mobile, and cross-platform frameworks, ensuring consistent functionality and exceptional responsiveness across platforms.
Requirements
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
โข
Architect a unified cross-platform client-side system that shares core business logic, order-book management, and binary data parsers across web, native mobile, Flutter, and React Native.
โข
Design high-performance data ingestion pipelines for WebSocket streams using binary protocols such as Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, and Simple Binary Encoding (SBE).
โข
Implement zero-copy data processing techniques to minimise memory allocations, data copying, and processing latency.
โข
Move intensive parsing and data-processing operations off the main UI thread using Web Workers, native background threads, and Dart Isolates.
โข
Design hardware-accelerated charting, graphics, and order-book rendering systems using Canvas, WebGL/WebGPU, Flutter Impeller/Skia, and native graphics APIs such as Metal and Vulkan.
โข
Optimise rendering pipelines to achieve consistent, low-latency performance, targeting 120 FPS where supported by the platform and hardware.
โข
Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks, including garbage-collection pauses, UI thread blocking, excessive memory allocation, and dropped frames.
โข
Apply memory pooling, lock-free data structures, concurrency patterns, and efficient resource management techniques.
โข
Establish performance benchmarks, profiling practices, and automated testing to validate responsiveness, stability, and scalability across devices.
โข
Lead architecture reviews, define engineering standards, and guide teams in implementing maintainable, high-performance systems.
โข
Collaborate with product and engineering stakeholders to translate demanding functional requirements into robust technical solutions.
โข
Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and optimisation techniques across web, mobile, graphics, and systems programming.
