What You’ll Be Working On • Design and build high-performance, low-latency systems using Rust, with a strong emphasis on safety, correctness, and efficiency. • Port, refactor, or coexist with existing C++ codebases, improving reliability and maintainability over time. • Work close to the metal: memory management, concurrency models, async runtimes, and performance tuning. • Collaborate with product, infra, and systems engineers to translate complex requirements into robust system designs. • Own critical components end-to-end: architecture, implementation, testing, and production support. What We’re Looking For • Solid professional experience in C++, including modern C++ (C++11+), STL, multithreading, and performance optimization. • Hands-on experience with Rust in production or serious side projects, with a clear understanding of ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. • Strong grasp of systems programming concepts: memory models, concurrency, synchronization, and CPU/cache behavior. • Experience debugging complex issues using tools like gdb/lldb, perf, valgrind, or similar. • Comfortable working in Linux environments and reading low-level code when things break.
