Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Rust Developer to take a leading role in the design and development of reliable backend services while gradually expanding into full stack delivery.

You will work primarily with Rust, building APIs, data models, asynchronous services, and well-tested backend components. Over time, you will also contribute to frontend applications built with Vue.js and Angular, as well as data pipeline components using AWS Glue.

This role is suited to a backend-focused engineer who brings strong production Rust experience, enjoys ownership, and is comfortable working in a polyglot codebase. Deep frontend expertise is not required from day one, but a willingness to learn and contribute across the stack is essential.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Designing, developing, testing, and maintaining backend services in Rust.
• Building reliable REST APIs and asynchronous application components.
• Creating and maintaining data models and integrations with relational data stores.
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested production code.
• Taking ownership of backend features from design through delivery and support.
• Contributing to frontend applications developed with Vue.js and Angular.
• Supporting AWS Glue pipelines and related ETL or data-processing activities where needed.
• Participating in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions.
• Working effectively within a polyglot codebase and learning adjacent technologies.
• Collaborating with team members and communicating technical progress, risks, and decisions clearly.

Qualifications

Required:

• At least 4 years of professional software development experience.
• Solid production experience developing applications or services in Rust.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals, including API design, asynchronous programming, data modeling, and automated testing.
• Experience building maintainable and reliable production systems.
• Willingness to contribute to frontend applications built with Vue.js and Angular.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar tools, technologies, and codebases quickly.
• Comfortable working across backend, frontend, and data pipeline components over time.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of technical deliverables.

Preferred:

• Experience with Vue.js, Angular, React, or another modern SPA framework.
• Experience with AWS services.
• Familiarity with AWS Glue or similar ETL and data integration tools.
• Experience designing or maintaining data pipelines.
• Previous experience working in a polyglot engineering environment.
• Interest in growing from a Rust-focused backend role into broader full stack responsibilities.
