About the job

Requirements
  • Experience building performance-critical frontends with smooth rendering and responsiveness requirements.
  • Knowledge of when to use React and when to use Canvas, WebGL, or raw Document Object Model manipulations for performance.
  • Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms.
  • Proficiency in TypeScript and use of its type system to catch bugs.
  • Fluency with low-level web application programming interfaces, including Origin Private File System, OffscreenCanvas, and Web Workers.
  • Ability to measure performance using frame budgets, memory profiles, and flame graphs.
Responsibilities
  • Architect frontend solutions for a canvas-based application that ingests and visualizes large data streams.
  • Design with data pipelines, rendering loops, and memory constraints in mind.
  • Build browser-based tools that deliver smooth rendering and responsiveness for engineers during incident response.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with WebAssembly for accelerating data-heavy or compute-bound browser tasks.
  • Familiarity with bundling and build tools such as Webpack, Vite, and Rollup.
  • Experience with usability and user experience for data-dense applications.
  • Deep knowledge of React internals, including the scheduler and when to bypass it.

About the company

Yeet is a real-time system observability platform built on eBPF that lets engineers inspect kernel-level events without changing applications. Developers write JavaScript to subscribe to a live system graph (processes, CPU, memory, network, Docker) and stream data to the browser while storing it in an in-browser DuckDB for SQL queries. It differentiates from competitors by providing live, kernel-level visibility with customizable probes and policies, streamed to the browser, plus remote deployment via CLI, YPM, and web UI with secure V8 isolates. Its goal is to give SREs and system administrators immediate answers for performance questions and live troubleshooting when dashboards fall short.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 6, 2026: Yeet launched an L7 firewall in-kernel with JavaScript policy.
  • August 2026 posts on Redis slowness and Trivy defense show expanding real workloads.
  • March 2025 funding of $7.8 million from Dragonfly supplies runway for 2026 GTM.

What critics are saying

  • Kernel-loaded probes and curl -fsSL installs trigger security objections in 2026 enterprise procurement.
  • Traversal, Datadog, and CrowdStrike already own observability budgets and incident workflows.
  • Linux-only, host-installed live tooling stays niche; weak adoption kills Yeet before 2027.

What makes yeet unique

  • Yeet runs eBPF probes through JavaScript, not dashboards and after-the-fact telemetry.
  • Yeet streams live host data into browser DuckDB for SQL analysis.
  • Yeet packages observability tools as deployable modules with yeetd, YPM, and yeetRPC.

YEET TO RETURN AS PRESENTING PARTNER OF TRITON SUPER HIGH ROLLER SERIES EVENT IN JEJU

YEET to return as presenting partner of Triton Super High Roller Series event in Jeju. Triton Poker Series today confirms the renewal of its collaboration with YEET.com, the crypto casino and sportsbook returning as presenting partner of the upcoming Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju, South Korea. The partnership builds on YEET's successful debut as presenting partner of the $250,000 Triton Invitational at WSOP Paradise in December 2025, and extends the relationship into what will be Triton Poker Series' 10th year. Ben Lamb, YEET co-founder and two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, says, "When we partnered with Triton in the Bahamas, it was about proving that a crypto-native brand belongs on the biggest stage in poker. Coming back for Jeju, and Triton's 10th anniversary, is about building something lasting." He adds, "The values are aligned: both YEET and Triton believe that the player experience comes first, and that the best way to earn trust is to deliver on that promise every single day." The Triton Poker Super High Roller Series is a 17-tournament festival at LES A Casino, Jeju, South Korea. The $100,000 NLH Main Event takes place March 24-26, with the $100,000 PLO Main Event running March 29-31. The festival begins Triton Poker Series' 10th anniversary celebrations, a decade since its first event in Parañaque, in the Philippines, in 2016. Lamb was one of the first players to appear on the Triton Poker Series in its earliest seasons, and won a title in Montenegro in 2019. He says he is proud to extend his long association with the world's most prestigious high-stakes poker tour. "YEET was built by people who live and breathe this world of gambling," Lamb says. "I've competed on the Triton stage as a player. Now as a founder, it's a privilege to help support the series that has done more than any other to elevate the standards of high-stakes poker. Triton's 10th anniversary is a milestone worth celebrating, and YEET is proud to be part of it." He says he will play in the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event in Jeju as well as all of the Pot Limit Omaha events to follow.
