Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About Minimal
We're building the future of software supply chain security, and we're looking for one of our first engineering hires to help shape everything from our codebase to our culture.

Our stack spans Rust (CLI tooling), TypeScript (Cloud frontend), and Go (backend services), all running on GCP. If you're energized by the idea of working across boundaries, owning problems end-to-end, and building something meaningful from the ground up, keep reading.

About the Role
As one of our first engineers, you won't just write code. You'll help define how we build software and secure system architectures, how we collaborate, and what kind of team we become. You'll work directly with leadership, ship features that customers use immediately, and have a real voice in technical and product decisions. As we grow, other developers will look to you for guidance and mentoring.
 
This is a generalist role by design. Some weeks you might be optimizing Rust CLI tools for performance and sandboxing. Other weeks you could be wiring up a new gRPC API in Go or keeping the front-end architecture clean. We value curiosity and adaptability over deep specialization in any single area.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain features across our CLI, backend, and frontend
• Take ownership of projects from idea through deployment and beyond
• Collaborate closely with teammates including product management, sharing context, asking questions, and giving thoughtful feedback
• Help establish engineering practices that scale as we grow
• Contribute to a culture where people feel supported, heard, and excited about the work

Requirements:

• Strong programming fundamentals with professional experience in Rust and ideally Go as well as TypeScript
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a loosely defined problem and figure out what needs to happen
• Ownership mindset: you follow through, communicate proactively, and care about the outcome, not just the code
• Collaborative spirit: you share credit, ask for help when you need it, and make the people around you better
• Solid experience with cloud infrastructure, ideally GCP (Kubernetes, Cloud Run, or similar), Terraform, etc.
• Interest in software supply chain security: you don't need to be an expert, but you should be curious
• Solid operating system fundamentals including experience with Linux namespaces and networking

Nice to Have

• Experience at an early-stage startup
• Experience at top tier tech company for experience with highly-refined software supply pipelines
• Experience at mid tier tech company with more pragmatic software supply pipelines
• Background in security, developer tooling, open source and package management
• Contributions to Rust, Go, or TypeScript ecosystems

What We Offer

• The chance to help shape a product and company
• Competitive compensation and benefits 
• Flexible work environment built on trust
• A team that genuinely cares about doing good work and treating each other well

 
We are open to candidates who are authorized to work in Canada or the USA for this role. We have a strong preference for candidates who are in PST, but will consider candidates within +/-2 hours of PST who are strongly aligned to the role and our mission.
