Senior Rust Engineer - Protocol Design

About the Role :

Were looking for engineers who think deeply about systems, performance, and correctness. As a Rust Engineer, youll help us build reliable, low-latency, high-concurrency systems.

This is a hands-on role for someone who writes clean code, loves solving hard problems, and values ownership from first principles to production.

If you enjoy squeezing performance out of machines, care about memory safety, and can architect robust systems without bloated abstractions youll feel at home You'll Do :

• Design and build production-grade systems using Rust.
• Write modular, safe, and performant code for backend services or infrastructure components.
• Optimize for latency, throughput, and resource efficiency.
• Contribute to design discussions around architecture, protocols, and data flows.
• Collaborate with product, infra, and other engineering teams.
• Review code, mentor peers, and help shape technical We Look For :
• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience with Rust in production.
• Strong understanding of systems programming, memory management, and performance profiling.
• Familiarity with concurrency patterns and asynchronous programming (e.g., tokio).
• Solid grasp of networking, data structures, and protocol design.
• Experience with gRPC, REST, or custom RPC protocols is a to Have :
• Exposure to WebAssembly, embedded systems, or OS-level internals.
• Experience with CI / CD, containerization, and cloud-native tooling.
• Contributions to open-source Rust projects or visible GitHub portfolio.
