Backend Engineer (Rust)

Work on the performance-critical parts of our stack — infrastructure where latency, throughput and correctness really matter. About The Role We use Rust for the parts of the system where we can't afford to guess — tight loops, network I/O, and components where predictable performance is the whole point. You'll work on the low-level foundations our Go services rely on, and help us build infrastructure we're proud of. What you'll do Build and maintain performance-critical services and libraries in Rust Own networking, I/O and systems-level components Work closely with the Go backend team on shared infrastructure Identify and fix bottlenecks with rigour and measurement Set a high bar for correctness and safety across the codebase What we're looking for 3+ years writing production Rust, or strong systems engineering in C++ or similar Solid understanding of memory management, concurrency and async I/O Experience designing for performance and correctness Ability to read and reason about low-level system behaviour Nice to have Contributed to open-source Rust projects Experience with tokio, axum or similar async Rust ecosystems
