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. Hands‑on experience with containerization (Docker/K8s) and deploying Rust services to cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). Experience with profiling tools (e.g., flamegraph, valgrind) to identify and resolve bottlenecks in high-load scenarios. Strong verbal and written English; comfortable leading technical discussions with cross‑functional stakeholders. Time zone: CET (+/- 3 hours). We are unable to consider applications from candidates in other time zones. Nice-to-Have: Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Pulumi). Familiarity with "Unsafe Rust" and when (and when not) to use it. Background in low-level systems languages like C or C++. Responsibilities: Design and implement highly performant backend services that are robust, maintainable, and type‑safe. Lead the shift toward memory‑safe distributed systems, ensuring zero‑cost abstractions are utilized effectively. Conduct rigorous code reviews, emphasizing idiomatic Rust ("Rustacean" style) and safety best practices. Architect secure and scalable RESTful and gRPC APIs for consumption by frontend and mobile applications. Maintain high code quality through comprehensive unit, integration, and property‑based testing. What we offer: Get paid, not played No more unreliable clients.
