Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:
The role is strikingly similar to those of a startup CTO: you’ll work in small teams, often solo, and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. A day might span discussing data models and workflows with customer executives , wrangling massive-scale data, hacking an integration or full-stack feature, and bringing insights back to the rest of the team.
You will be on the forefront of extending Rilla’s existing footprint and strategy into new markets and problem spaces.
Do you aspire to be a founder or a leader in applying AI to the physical world? We believe Rilla is the best place — with the best peers — to learn how.

Technologies We Use

• Different backend languages, including Typescript and Python
• Open-source technologies like Node.js, Turborepo, Lodash, and Zod
• Industry-standard build tooling, including GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Spacelift

What We Value

• An infinite learner. Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.
• A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply care about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics.
• A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
• Extreme empathy. Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
• Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more.

Requirements:

• Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages, such as Javascript, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languages.
• Familiarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for quality.
• Ability and interest to travel up to 50%, as needed to client sites.

Please Don't Join If You're Not Excited About:

• Building an AI product for an industry untouched by modern software
• Constantly talking to and visiting customers in the field
• Working ~70 hrs/week in person and in the field with some of the most ambitious people in NYC
• Attempting to build a generational company, and the intensity required to do so
