About the Opportunity

My client is hiring a Senior Rust Engineer to build high-performance, production-grade infrastructure systems in Rust. This is a deeply technical role focused on correctness, performance, and thoughtful systems design.



The team is looking for engineers who are genuinely passionate about Rust - particularly those active in the open-source ecosystem. 



Ideal candidates care about memory layout, zero-copy patterns, async runtimes, and writing clean, safe systems code.



The work involves building and scaling distributed systems that demand high throughput, low latency, and strong reliability guarantees.



What the Role Involves

Designing and building performance-critical systems in Rust
Architecting distributed services with strong correctness guarantees
Optimizing for latency, throughput, and memory efficiency
Working extensively with async runtimes (e.g., Tokio) and concurrency primitives
Contributing to or maintaining open-source dependencies where appropriate
Influencing architectural direction and long-term technical decisions


What My Client Is Looking For

Significant experience writing Rust in production
Strong open-source presence (GitHub contributions highly valued)
Deep understanding of:
Ownership & borrowing
Lifetimes
Traits & generics
Async/await internals
Concurrency and synchronization primitives
Experience building distributed systems, infrastructure, databases, or networking layers
Strong performance profiling and optimization skills


Nice to Have

Contributions to notable Rust ecosystem projects
Experience with:
Arrow / DataFusion
Tokio internals
Serde or procedural macros
SIMD / vectorized execution
Background in C++ or other systems languages
Experience designing reusable libraries or frameworks


Why This Role

Fully remote
Up to $350k base salary
Meaningful equity
High technical ownership
Opportunity to work alongside engineers who value craftsmanship
Real impact on architecture and long-term technical direction
