Job Opportunities

I’m interested in junior/mid-level C++, Rust, or C developer positions for high-performance/low-latency applications, or general systems programming for programs that are at the very least performance-sensitive (examples: high-frequency trading, kernel development, compiler development, etc.). You can see my CV here.

If you want to hire someone on a position that fits those descriptions, or you know someone who does, get in touch at nicula@nicula.xyz or on LinkedIn. I’m currently based in Bucharest, Romania, but I’m generally willing to relocate in any major European country or US/Canada.
