Job description

  • Design & Develop: Build and maintain high-performance, safe, and maintainable systems software using Rust.
  • Architecture & Collaboration: Collaborate with team members on architectural decisions, own features end-to-end from design through to deployment, and participate in code reviews.
  • Performance Optimisation: Debug and optimise systems for performance, memory usage, concurrent programming, and maximum reliability.
  • Hardware Integration: Interface software with custom low-level platforms, handling protocols for connected fleet and transit gateways.
  • Process & Documentation: Participate actively in agile development processes, manage your own workload, and contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

Experience & Technical Skills:

  • Commercial Track Record: A minimum of 2+ years of commercial software development experience, with demonstrable experience deploying Rust in production environments.
  • Systems Programming Foundations: Strong background in Rust, or an expert-level background in C/C++ development paired with strong, demonstrable Rust competence.
  • Low-Level Mastery: Deep comfort with systems programming concepts-specifically memory management, multi-threading, threading, and concurrency.
  • Rust Specifics: Exceptionally proficient in Rust’s ownership model, borrowing mechanisms, and lifetimes.
  • Ecosystem Familiarity: Comfortable operating within Linux/Unix development environments, utilizing version control (Git), and engaging with modern CI/CD practices.
  • Testing & Quality: Proven experience working with testing frameworks and writing long-term maintainable code.
