About the Role

We're looking for Senior Rust Engineers to take real ownership of a high-performance, production backend. You'll be working on mission-critical systems where performance, security, and reliability aren't nice-to-haves — they're the job. Whether the work is hardening core services for a cybersecurity product or extending a Rust-based backend that powers a cross-platform application, this role is for someone who can navigate complex, unfamiliar codebases quickly and start shipping production-ready code fast.

What You'll Do

  • Build, optimize, and maintain high-performance backend services in Rust

  • Take ownership of core backend architecture, including remediating vulnerabilities and improving CI/CD workflows

  • Interface with PostgreSQL for complex data management, persistence, and schema-oriented design

  • Design and work with schema-oriented service patterns (e.g., gRPC) where applicable

  • Deploy and maintain services on AWS

  • Jump into an existing, unfamiliar codebase and reach full productivity within the first 1–2 weeks

  • Submit clean, high-quality code that holds up to rigorous review and peer scrutiny

  • Take increasing ownership of backend direction as the system evolves or transitions from a legacy team

What You Bring

  • Expert-level or extensive senior-level experience with Rust in a production environment

  • Strong experience with PostgreSQL and SQL database design

  • Strong experience with AWS for hosting and deployment

  • Proven track record on large-scale, mission-critical, or high-stakes systems where performance and reliability matter

  • Experience working as a senior individual contributor on evolving production systems

  • Ability to explain complex architectural decisions and take full ownership of submitted code

  • Comfortable working independently and ramping quickly on unfamiliar codebases

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with GitHub-based development workflows

  • Experience with gRPC or Avro-based schema design

  • Exposure to Flutter-based product environments (web, mobile, or desktop)

  • Comfort using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude) without sacrificing code quality

RATE: $35-$45/hr.
