Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About the Role
This position spans the full stack: from low-level systems engineering to Rust-based service development and deployment automation using tools like Ansible. You will be central to maintaining and evolving the Internet Computer’s edge infrastructure, ensuring it operates with high reliability, strong security, and minimal downtime.

We are looking for a T-shaped engineer: someone with deep expertise in one or more areas and broad technical range across others. You should be eager to learn, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to collaborate effectively across teams, time zones, and disciplines in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with a solid understanding of networking and systems design.
• Expertise in at least one systems programming language (Rust, C, or C++). Our systems are primarily written in Rust (experience is a plus, but we will help you get up to speed).
• Proficiency with tools and technologies like Docker, Shell scripting, Bazel, and Ansible.
• Curiosity and willingness to dig into networking internals and hardware-related aspects.
• Experience building and maintaining large-scale, production-grade systems, especially those requiring 24x7x365 availability.
• Experience building monitoring, alerting, and automation for critical systems.
• A track record of delivering software that developers and end-users love.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field. Practical experience and demonstrated skills are valued over formal credentials.

* Please note that this role requires in-office work from our amazing office in Zurich 3+ days per week
