  • Work asynchronously with distributed teams, with clear written communication

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years of production Rust

  • Experience building and running backend services or systems software in production
  • Solid grasp of concurrency, memory management and performance profiling
  • Comfortable with testing in Rust (unit, integration, property-based) and with CI/CD
  • Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases (Postgres, Redis and so on) through crates such as sqlx, Diesel or SeaORM
  • Familiarity with Docker, Linux and at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Strong written and spoken English
  • Reliable availability of 20 hours/week, with 4 hours of overlap with US timezone.

Nice to Have

  • Unsafe Rust, FFI (C/C++ or Python via PyO3) or WebAssembly
  • Embedded, networking, blockchain or distributed-systems experience
  • Open-source contributions to the Rust ecosystem
  • Experience with observability tools (tracing, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus)
  • Background in C++ or Go
