• Design and develop high-performance backend services using Rust for large-scale distributed systems.
• Build low-latency APIs, asynchronous processing services, and event-driven microservices.
• Develop networking applications utilizing TCP, UDP, HTTP/2, gRPC, WebSockets, and QUIC protocols.
• Build highly concurrent applications using Rust's async ecosystem including Tokio and async/await.
• Design resilient services capable of processing millions of transactions with high availability and fault tolerance.
• Optimize CPU utilization, memory management, thread scheduling, and application performance.
• Integrate services with Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis Streams, or other enterprise messaging platforms.
• Develop secure APIs and authentication services supporting OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and mTLS.
• Build observability capabilities including structured logging, distributed tracing, and performance monitoring.
• Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, system design discussions, and production support.
• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to automate deployments using CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code.
• Investigate complex production issues involving networking, concurrency, memory utilization, and distributed systems.

Requirements:

• Six or more years of professional software engineering experience building enterprise applications.
• Three or more years of hands-on Rust development experience in production environments.
• Strong proficiency in Rust programming language, ownership model, borrowing, lifetimes, traits, generics, and macros.
• Extensive experience with asynchronous Rust development using Tokio, async/await, Futures, and Actix or Axum.
• Strong understanding of concurrent programming, multithreading, synchronization primitives, and lock-free programming concepts.
• Experience building RESTful APIs, gRPC services, and high-performance backend applications.
• Strong understanding of operating system fundamentals including memory management, process scheduling, file systems, and networking.
• Experience working with Linux production environments and command-line tooling.
• Experience developing cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Strong SQL skills with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server.
• Experience working with NoSQL databases such as Redis, Cassandra, DynamoDB, or MongoDB.
• Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Experience integrating distributed messaging systems including Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, or Pulsar.
• Strong debugging, profiling, benchmarking, and performance optimization skills.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building distributed systems supporting high-throughput financial, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, or telecommunications platforms.
• Familiarity with Rust web frameworks including Axum, Warp, Rocket, or Actix Web.
• Experience developing Kubernetes Operators or cloud-native infrastructure tooling.
• Experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Pulumi.
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and distributed tracing platforms.
• Knowledge of cryptographic libraries, TLS, secure communications, and certificate management.
• Experience building command-line tools and systems utilities using Rust.
• Familiarity with C/C++ interoperability through Foreign Function Interface (FFI).
• Contributions to open-source Rust projects or participation in the Rust community are highly desirable.

Project Environment

You will be joining a platform engineering team responsible for building next-generation distributed infrastructure supporting enterprise-scale applications across cloud environments. Current initiatives include:

• High-performance API gateway and service mesh components
• Real-time event streaming and data processing pipelines
• Distributed job scheduling and workflow orchestration services
• Cloud-native platform services deployed on Kubernetes
• Secure authentication and identity management infrastructure
• Infrastructure automation and systems observability platforms
• High-availability backend services processing millions of requests daily
• Enterprise monitoring, telemetry, and reliability engineering solutions

This is a highly technical engineering role where you will contribute to architecture, implementation, performance optimization, deployment, and operational excellence for large-scale production systems.
