Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with your team to deliver new features, analyze outcomes, and make improvements
• Lead projects from concept to implementation, including ongoing customer support
• Design, build, operate, and maintain essential systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and availability
• Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives
• Participate in on-call rotations and take responsibility for the services you oversee
• Support and mentor team members, engage in design conversations, and work closely with colleagues
• Expand your skill set by deepening your knowledge of our cloud products, understanding our customers, and learning about our codebase

As we have embraced a remote-first approach and our engineering team is primarily remote, it is essential to possess strong communication skills and the ability to work independently. We provide support and hold regular meetings through video calls to ensure effective collaboration and alignment.

**What are we looking for in you? **

• You are a motivated self-starter with a bias toward action
• We build everything with our users in mind.
• You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs.
• Pragmatism: You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively
• Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must

Requirements:

• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well
• Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements, brain-storming ideas all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way
• Strong experience with designing and developing software that runs in the Cloud or experience with systems engineering
• Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others.
• Experience with being on-call and performing operations/SRE tasks or with the concept of infrastructure as code
• Solid experience with distributed systems
• Experience working with Kubernetes
