• Adding new functionality to the platform,
• Optimizing cost-to-serve and latency on a platform level or optimizing via consultation on the application level, and
• Improving self-serve and monitoring capabilities.

General platform optimizations are usually achieved by developing or using advanced data structures and algorithms, while application-level optimizations are mostly rooted in a deep understanding of designing information retrieval systems. The core components of Cassini are written in modern C++, and we use parallel and distributed computation to power query serving. If you have a background in those areas and like to contribute to achieving our mission, please come join us!
