Rust Backend Engineer

Polars is the next generation of DataFrames. We don’t take the easy route and build from the ground up, controlling every element allows us to create a superior solution. Our open-source implementation is one of the fastest growing data projects on GitHub and has over 26 thousand stars and 40 million downloads to date.

We believe data processing should be a seamless experience from working locally on your development machine to an enterprise production environment. There should be one framework to learn for data practitioners, removing the need for rewriting code when going to production.

How will you make an impact?

As a founding Backend Engineer, you’ll shape the design of Polars Cloud in order to create a seamless experience for our users. Together with our product manager and full stack engineers, you transform requirements into technical design into implementation. From experience, you know how to design and scale backend APIs that can be trusted upon with security and maintainability in mind.
