Rust Developer

We are seeking a skilled Rust Developer to design, implement and maintain efficient, reliable and high performance software components using the Rust programming language. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with product, architecture, QA and operations teams to build scalable systems, address performance and safety challenges, and drive technical excellence.

• Design and develop software modules, services or systems using Rust, employing its ownership, borrowing and lifetime semantics for safety and performance.
• Write clean, idiomatic, maintainable and well tested Rust code; ensure code quality through peer review, unit/integration tests and refactoring.
• Work on performance critical and concurrent/async software: use Rust's async/await, multithreading, safe concurrency primitives and zero cost abstractions.
• Collaborate in architecture/design discussions: choose appropriate crates (libraries), frameworks, tooling (Cargo), and integrate with the broader system or existing code bases.
• Troubleshoot, debug and optimise existing systems: profiling, memory/safety auditing, latency or throughput improvements.
• Participate in deploying and maintaining services (on premises or cloud), support CI/CD pipelines, containers or orchestration if needed.
• Document design, implementations and act as a technical resource: share best practices, potentially mentor junior engineers, and help build a Rust culture when applicable.

• Bachelors degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related technical field.
• Minimum 35 years of software development experience, with at least 2 years of production level Rust development preferred.
• Strong proficiency in Rust: ownership model, borrowing, lifetimes, trait system, the Rust toolchain.
• Solid understanding of systems programming concepts: memory management, concurrency, async programming, performance optimisation, data structures and algorithms.
• Experience with relevant frameworks or ecosystems (e.g., async runtimes like Tokio / async std, web frameworks, embedded/low level, or backend/microservices) is a plus.
• Familiarity with development tooling, version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling (Docker/Kubernetes or similar) is desirable.
• Excellent collaboration, communication and problem solving skills; able to work independently and as part of a cross functional team.

• Strategic thinking with a strong technical mindset: able to balance feature delivery with performance, reliability and long term maintainability.
• Pragmatic and result oriented: takes ownership, drives things through to completion, and iteratively improves code and systems.
• Attention to detail: writes clean, safe and efficient code; cares about correctness, memory safety and concurrency.
• Adaptability and continuous learning: interested in the Rust ecosystem and emerging technologies; willing to upskill and adopt new tools/approaches.
• Collaborative and mentoring: willing to share knowledge, support team best practices and raise the bar for engineering work.

• Opportunity to build and shape high impact software systems using Rust in a challenging, modern environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits aligned with experience and performance.
• Exposure to cutting edge problems (systems, concurrency, performance, low latency, reliability) and best practice engineering culture.
• A collaborative team environment, growth opportunities and professional development.
