Rust Engineer

• Proficient in production Rust — you've shipped real systems. You're comfortable with ownership, traits, generics with bounds, and enums as sum types. You understand why Result<T, E> is better than exceptions and what the borrow checker is actually protecting you from
• Strong engineering fundamentals — you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows
• Comfortable with low-level systems concepts: memory layout, concurrency, bit manipulation
• Genuinely interested in hardware and willing to ramp quickly
• This is a remote (with travel) or hybrid role based in Mountain View

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience with hardware in any capacity — FPGA projects, embedded systems, robotics, or prior roles touching hardware engineering; Accelerators are a huge plus
• Experience with foreign function interfaces — Rust FFI is ideal, but any experience crossing language boundaries is valuable
• Formal methods, model checking, or property-based testing (e.g., proptest, Kani)
• Understanding of computer architecture: pipelines, caches, memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects
• Familiarity with ML Systems/Frameworks
