Descrição da Vaga
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
