Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Sr. Rust Engineer - **Company:** S Linx LLC - **Location:** Los Angeles, CA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Amazon Web Services, Amazon S3, Unix, Command-Line Interface, Cloud Computing, Cloud Engineering, Continuous Integration, Relational Databases, Protocol Buffers, PostgreSQL, OAuth, Performance Tuning, Role-Based Access Control, SQL Databases, Data Streaming, Video Codec, WebRTC, Datadog, Computer Networking Systems, Caching, Backend, Kubernetes, Graphql, Windows Services, Terraform, Grpc, Docker - **Published:** August 5, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/f72dff41-f9bb-487d-b87b-19664193be5f ## About the Role · Strong production Rust - ownership, borrowing and lifetimes, traits, error handling, and a type system used well. · Solid async Rust (Tokio or equivalent): tasks, channels, streams, cancellation, and reasoning clearly about concurrency correctness. · Experience designing and operating backend services and their APIs (HTTP / GraphQL / gRPC). · Production experience with relational databases and SQL (PostgreSQL preferred), including schema design and migrations - comfortable with raw SQL, not just an ORM. · A solid grasp of auth fundamentals - OAuth2 / JWT, and RBAC or relationship-based access control. · At home in a command-line, cloud-native workflow (Docker, CI/CD, some cloud infrastructure exposure), collaborating and reviewing code in a sizable codebase. Where you could make a big impact · These are areas you can own and go deep on - any one is a way to have outsized impact, and a couple can be a specialty in their own right. · Real-time and networking systems - WebRTC (SDP/ICE/TURN), QUIC, NAT traversal, or libraries like iroh. · Media and streaming - GStreamer, professional video codecs (ProRes, RED R3D, Blackmagic RAW), AVFoundation / VideoToolbox, low-latency pipelines. · Systems-level / OS work - daemons and background services (launchd / Windows services), Unix domain sockets and named pipes, virtual filesystems (NFS / FSKit / WinFsp), caching, and content addressing. Nice to have / bonus · gRPC / Protobuf on the Rust stack (Tonic/Prost), with schema-evolution and backwards-compat discipline. · async-graphql or other production GraphQL server experience. · sqlx specifically (compile-time-checked queries, offline mode) and Postgres performance tuning. · Ory (Keto/Oathkeeper) or other Zanzibar-style authorization; Auth0. · Cloud-native ops - AWS (EKS, ECR, S3), Kubernetes, Terraform/Terragrunt, NATS, Meilisearch. · Cross-language FFI (swift-bridge, Rust *️ Swift/TS bindings) - handy, since our clients embed Rust. · Nix/devenv reproducible environments and just-based task runners. · Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, PrometheGrafana/Tempo). · A background in film, video, or post-production, or other professional media workflows. ## Related Videos - [Rust Beyond Systems: Revolutionizing Web Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1111-rust-beyond-systems-revolutionizing-web-development) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1935-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Node and Package Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2138-wearedevelopers-live-node-and-package-security) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Get ready to Rustle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/698-get-ready-to-rustle) - [gRPC Load Balancing Deep Dive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1576-grpc-load-balancing-deep-dive) ## Related Articles - [Building AI Solutions with Rust and Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/494-building-ai-solutions-with-rust-and-docker) - [4 reasons why you should learn Rust in 2021 – and maybe even have fun doing it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/35-4-reasons-why-you-should-learn-rust-in-2021-and-maybe-even-have-fun-doing-it) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Top in-demand programming languages to learn in 2021](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/30-top-in-demand-programming-languages-to-learn-in-2021) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss)
