Senior Rust Backend Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement concurrent backend services in Rust optimized for microsecond-level execution.
• Build and maintain core subsystems with an emphasis on throughput, memory safety, and predictable behavior under load.
• Develop in-memory data structures and safe, parallel logic using async runtimes and low-level concurrency primitives.
• Build stateless and stateful microservices that communicate via Protobuf-based protocols.
• Profile and optimize application performance using real-world load simulations.
• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to define performance SLAs and support real-time monitoring instrumentation.
• Write testable, well-structured, modular code aligned with long-term maintenance goals.
  

Required Skills And Experience

• Minimum 6+ years of professional experience in backend systems in Rust.
• Proven experience with high-throughput, low-latency systems in areas like real-time data processing, gaming servers, messaging infrastructure, or analytics platforms.
• Strong expertise with Rust’s ownership model, lifetimes, memory safety, and multithreading.
• Experience building multi-threaded or async-based systems using tokio, rayon, or similar.
• Knowledge of lock-free or wait-free concurrency patterns, or strategies for minimizing lock contention.
• Proficient in working with binary serialization formats (Protocol Buffers preferred).
• Familiar with unit testing, benchmarking, and performance profiling in Rust.
• Experience with Unix/Linux environments, Git-based workflows, and modern backend tooling.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with distributed systems, including microservice orchestration and inter-service communication.
• Familiarity with WebSocket implementations, streaming architectures, or async messaging frameworks.
• Exposure to real-time caching and storage technologies such as Redis, Aerospike, or in-memory DBs.
• Experience working alongside DevOps/SRE teams to deploy and monitor production infrastructure.
• Understanding of Docker, CI/CD practices, containerization, and cloud-native environments.
• Optional but appreciated: experience integrating with rate-limited external APIs or services requiring resilient retry logic.
  

Working Arrangement

• This is a fully remote, full-time contract position.
• Engineers must be self-directed, proactive, and capable of owning a critical backend module independently.
• Regular collaboration with other backend engineers, a DevOps lead, and a project manager will be required.
• We operate in a sprint-driven environment with high accountability and clear deliverables.
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• You’ve previously worked on systems where predictability, speed, and correctness were non-negotiable.
• You care deeply about code performance, architecture, and safety, not just delivery speed.
• You’re familiar with low-level tradeoffs around thread safety, CPU cache locality, and runtime overhead.
• You’ve operated in teams building system-critical infrastructure, whether in tech, gaming, analytics, or comms.
