Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join our team to design, build, and optimize high-performance backend systems. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who writes production-grade Rust, cares about correctness and performance, and can operate independently with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement scalable, low-latency backend services in Rust
• Write safe, idiomatic, well-tested code with strong attention to memory management and concurrency
• Optimize existing systems for performance, reliability, and resource efficiency
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on system architecture and API design
• Debug and resolve complex issues across distributed systems
• Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, and engineering best practices
• Integrate with databases, message queues, and third-party APIs as needed

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with 3+ years writing production Rust
• Deep understanding of Rust's ownership model, borrow checker, lifetimes, and concurrency primitives (async/await, tokio, etc.)
• Experience building and maintaining backend services or systems-level software (APIs, microservices, network/infra tooling)
• Proficiency with version control (Git) and CI/CD workflows
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and systems design
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Actix, Axum, or similar Rust web frameworks
• Familiarity with WebAssembly (Wasm)
• Experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, or other database systems in production
• Background in fintech, infrastructure, or high-throughput systems
• Open-source Rust contributions
