Where or how so you find such jobs/companies? Whenever I interview for non faang companies I’ve been asked things like the cap theorem, concurrency issues, microservice patterns, ddd, and of course on top of that the live coding and systems design interviews.

For once, I’d like to join a company in which I seem to bring something only I know.



Those are mostly incompetent companies. You might be the only one who knows something critical, but it’s not as fun as it seems.


Sounds like you want systems programming? Some areas to look in could be open source companies and embedded software.
