Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of a distributed backend system that enables integration with external control and logistics platforms.
• Collaborate closely with product, infrastructure, and vehicle teams to translate complex technical requirements into reliable, maintainable code.
• Implement core backend services and APIs with a focus on performance, robustness, and security.
• Guide architecture decisions in collaboration with the broader engineering team and ensure technical alignment across systems.
• Own the full development lifecycle—design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support.
• Mentor other engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence, code quality, and ownership.

What Success Looks Like:

• After 30 Days: You’re contributing to key backend components and participating in system architecture discussions. You’ve identified performance or reliability improvements in the existing pipeline.
• After 60 Days: You’re leading the implementation of major integration features and setting development plans for your area. You’ve helped standardize practices and increased team velocity.
• After 90 Days: You’ve delivered critical integrations into test environments and are helping drive the roadmap for production deployment and cross-system communication.

Basic Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience in backend or systems-level software development.
• Proficiency in Rust, C++, C, or other system-level languages.
• Experience leading development of distributed systems or cloud-based applications.
• Strong understanding of networking, concurrency, and system performance.
• Experience working in Linux-based environments and production-grade infrastructure.
• Ability to lead technically while remaining hands-on in implementation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Rust in production or strong interest in learning and using Rust.
• Background in integrating with transportation, industrial, or logistics systems (e.g., train control, yard ops, or TMS).
• Experience in safety-critical domains such as autonomous vehicles, aerospace, or industrial systems.
