Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop scalable backend services that integrate and process real-time sensor data across distributed systems.
• Build core infrastructure and deployment pipelines to support continuous delivery of StrikeWeb capabilities to production.
• Develop testing frameworks for validating backend logic in both software-only and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• Benchmark application performance under load and drive systemic optimizations in latency, throughput, and resiliency.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with frontend, robotics, DevOps, and product teams to deliver end-to-end capabilities from concept to field deployment.

Must have experience

• 5+ years of backend development experience, including building and deploying production-scale web services.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking fundamentals, and real-time or near-real-time application architectures.
• Proficiency in one or more backend programming languages such as Python, Go, Rust, Java, or C++.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and cloud-native services for compute, storage, and messaging.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern build/deployment toolchains (e.g., GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform).
• Experience integrating with or building telemetry, monitoring, and alerting stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
• Familiarity with API design for control systems or event-driven architectures (e.g., gRPC, Kafka, MQTT).

Nice to have experience

• Exposure to robotics systems, embedded software, or high-throughput sensor data processing.
• Experience with high-performance networking, stream processing frameworks, or time-series databases.
• Background in security-focused or defense-related backend systems with reliability and auditability requirements.
• Contributions to open-source backend frameworks, infrastructure tools, or monitoring systems.
