What I’m looking for:

• Engagement: Long-term, direct hire or contract-to-hire with meaningful equity; I enjoy building products and teams, not just features

Why me:

• Designed & scaled a payment platform serving 1000+ merchants and processing billions of USD in the last 4.5 years.

• Habitual refactorer: cut 700 Django migrations to <200, shaved 60 % off deploy times, and drove P99 API latency below 150 ms

• Clear, async-first communicator; fluent in English

• Enjoy mentoring, code reviews, and turning business specs into maintainable architecture

If you need a senior engineer who can own a codebase, level-up the team, and ship reliably, let’s talk.

  Résumé/CV: https://nicze.de/philipp/cv.pdf
  Email: philipp.czerner@nicze.de

I am currently finishing a PhD in theoretical computer science and looking for a position in industry. I do a lot of programming, usually in Python and C++, and with a mathematical or algorithmic focus. For example, as part of my research I developed a BDD library that uses complexity theory to guarantee correctness with small overhead. Or recently, in my spare time, I created an AI for MTG (drafting, to be precise), using a transformer architecture with PyTorch. I am very enthusiastic about using or coming up with theoretical ideas that can improve outcomes in practice. I rely on having strong fundamentals, from mathematics over algorithms to knowledge of the actual hardware, to enable me to easily pick up new areas and tackle novel problems. Most of my research is the result of collaborations — it is important to me to both support my colleagues and be able to learn from them.

Please feel free to refer to my CV for more detailed information, or my website (https://nicze.de/philipp/). Currently, I am very interested in AI, but I am also happy to discuss any other interesting opportunities!

Misc: I have over two years of full-time security consulting and blue team experience at NCC Group and Black Lantern Security. Also, I have two 0days and received CVEs under my name and a company research blog post to go along with it. Done contracting for FAANGs and found 0days in their products. Worked at IBM as a programmer too.

I'm eligible for a security clearance and willing to do government work. Already passed a FSP once, but was denied agency specific suitability.

Hire me to work on Torch Lens Maker [1], an open-source Python library for differential geometric optics. The goal of this project is to design optical systems with modern numerical optimization (PyTorch autograd). The website has a detailed roadmap of what I have planned.

I'm also happy to work on other stuff, I had a recent blog post [2] do fairly well on HN a few months back, which would give you get a great idea of how I work.
