The Role:
We are looking for a Senior Backend Rust Developer to join one of our high-growth client teams as a technical lead for their core systems. In an era where performance and memory safety are non-negotiable, you will be responsible for architecting and building low-latency, high-throughput services that serve as the backbone of the client's platform.
You will lead the transition from legacy services to high-performance Rust microservices, leveraging the ownership model to eliminate data races and ensure memory safety. This is a role for a developer who loves "getting close to the metal" while maintaining the productivity of a modern web stack.
What we are looking for:
- Professional experience building production-grade applications in Rust. You should have a deep understanding of ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and the Send/Sync traits.
- Strong experience with the Tokio ecosystem and asynchronous programming patterns.
- Proficiency with modern Rust web frameworks such as Axum, Actix-web, or Rocket.
- Proven ability to design distributed systems using gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and message brokers like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
- Advanced knowledge of SQL (PostgreSQL preferred) and experience with asynchronous ORMs or query builders like sqlx or Diesel.
- Hand
