Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Gross is a Senior Staff Engineer with 18 years of experience building high-performance distributed systems and data pipelines, currently optimizing Snowflake’s low-latency SQL execution in C++ and Java. He has designed production systems at Twitch that measured 100M concurrent users with sub-100ms p99 latency and a near-real-time fraud detection pipeline that drastically raised adversary cost. Comfortable across Go, Java, C/C++, Ruby on Rails and the AWS stack, he blends systems engineering with applied machine learning—a skill cultivated during his PhD and refined at Google and Twitch. His early research and tooling work includes compiling index search into optimized x86 code, using Linux perf to tune generated assembly for speed and compactness. Based in Berlin, he’s as likely to profile generated machine code as to lead a small cross-functional R&D team, bringing a rare combination of deep-performance tuning and product-focused delivery.
