Rust Architect / Backend Developer

What You'll Do6

• Solve and validate Rust backend problems that involve service behavior, APIs, persistence, concurrency, performance, and reliability.
• Turn functional requirements, performance targets, and failure-handling expectations into reproducible implementation and testing workflows.
• Set up Rust crate workspaces, configuration files, test fixtures, dependency services, databases, and containerized environments.
• Assess whether backend systems are correct, reliable, maintainable, and suitable for production use.
• Debug technical issues in Rust services and document the reasoning behind fixes.
• Submit a minimum number of tasks each week as defined by the project.

Requirements7

• Strong knowledge of Rust, backend service design, APIs, data systems, concurrency, and production software architecture.
• Experience formulating and completing technical analyses that involve backend correctness, performance, scalability, or reliability.
• Practical proficiency with Rust gained through substantial professional, research, or open-source software work.
• Clear ownership of Rust architecture decisions.
• Ability to evaluate backend systems for production readiness.
• Comfort with asynchronous and concurrent programming patterns in Rust.
• Familiarity with containerized environments and dependency services for testing.
