Full Stack Engineer

Role Description

You’re a senior full-stack engineer who specializes deeply in Rust and takes ambiguous problems and drives them to completion with minimal oversight. You build across the whole stack - the React/TypeScript front-end that operators and technicians use, the Go cloud API (LiftCloud) that serves it, and the Rust services at the core of the platform: the VTS (Vendor Translation Services) layer and the LiftNet client/server re-architecture. Rust is your center of gravity - the hardest, highest-value work lives there. You’ll own features vertically rather than by layer, split day-to-day ownership with the principal engineer and a second full-stack engineer to remove key-person bottlenecks, and contribute directly to LiftNet’s strategic roadmap - the evolving LiftNet architecture, predictive analytics, and the LN2 Integrator automated-QA effort. If Ownership, Minimal oversight, Small team, Rust, & Remote resonate you, this is your dream role.

What You’ll Do

• Own features end to end across the stack - front-end (React/TypeScript), cloud API (Go/LiftCloud), and Rust services - rather than working a single layer.
• Do deep Rust work on the VTS (Vendor Translation Services) layer and the LiftNet client/server re-architecture.
• Read and extend the Go cloud API and build the UI that consumes it correctly.
• Build data-dense, real-time interfaces - dashboards, map views, status panels.
• Design and build client/server distributed-system components aligned to the LiftNet re-architecture.
• Work across the full architecture: the edge layer (Raspberry Pi, binary/serial protocols), the VTS translation layer, the Go cloud, and AWS (EC2, PostgreSQL/RDS, QuestDB).
• Operate, debug, and harden the Linux-based services that run on the edge devices and in the cloud.
• Integrate and translate industrial/OT controller protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, serial).
• Build regression validation against golden/blessed datasets and packet-level (Wireshark) verification.
• Contribute to AWS environment setup (Dev/Staging/QA) and security-group hardening.
• Partner with the principal engineer and the second full-stack engineer to split ownership across the stack.
• Own day-to-day work across front-end, cloud, and Rust services reliably.
• Deliver predictable, on-time turnaround on committed customer features.
• Take independent ownership of at least one vertical domain (UI through Rust service) within the first months.
• Reduce key-person risk across the VTS, the Rust backend, and the front-end.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; Masters Degree and other engineering credentials a plus.
• 5-7 years of Rust engineering experience with senior-level competency.
• Genuine full-stack capability: production experience building front-ends in React/TypeScript and working server-side APIs.
• Client/server distributed-system design experience aligned to the LiftNet 3 direction.
• Demonstrated self-starting autonomy - able to own a domain end to end with minimal direction.
• Comfort across the full architecture: the edge layer (Raspberry Pi, binary/serial), the VTS layer, the Go cloud, and AWS.
• Deep, hands-on Linux expertise - operating, debugging, and hardening Linux systems from the command line.
• Able to build, package, and deploy services on Linux.
• Front-end depth on data-heavy, real-time UIs - mapping, live status, and performance tuning of dense views.
• Test-automation mindset - regression validation against golden datasets and packet-level verification.
• Industrial/OT protocol familiarity - OPC UA, Modbus, serial integration.
• AWS infrastructure fluency - environment duplication and security-group hardening.
• Pragmatic for a small, fast-moving company; automation-first, low ego; communicates bottom-line-first.
