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.
