- Build core components that keep the data system reliable and observable.
Qualifications
- Three to five years of Rust, or strong C/C++ systems experience and motivation to learn Rust.
- Production backend and data-platform experience, including distributed-system tradeoffs, scaling, query execution or indexing.
- Good English for remote collaboration; Apache DataFusion, cloud deployment and physical-AI interests are useful extras.
Technology in this role
- C++: Three to five years of Rust, or strong C/C++ systems experience and motivation to learn Rust.
Benefits
- The employer lists cash and equity compensation, six weeks paid vacation, equipment, and twelve weeks of fully paid parental leave alongside local entitlements.
