• Develop frontend components and interfaces using frameworks such as Yew , Leptos, Dioxus, or similar Rust-based technologies.
• Develop and integrate backend services and APIs using Node.js .
• Design efficient communication between frontend, backend, and WebAssembly modules.
• Build reusable, maintainable, and scalable Rust components.
• Optimize application performance, memory usage, and execution speed.
• Work with REST APIs, WebSockets, asynchronous systems, and third-party integrations.
• Write clean, secure, well-tested, and production-ready code.
• Debug complex application and performance issues across Rust, WebAssembly, frontend, and backend environments.
• Participate in technical architecture and system design decisions.
• Conduct code reviews and maintain high engineering standards.
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle.
• Maintain technical documentation for architecture, APIs, and key application components.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong professional experience with Rust .
• Rust ownership and borrowing

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of microservices and distributed system architecture.
• Experience contributing to Rust open-source projects would be an advantage.

Ideal Candidate

We are particularly interested in candidates who have commercial, production-level experience with Rust , rather than developers who have only experimented with Rust through personal projects.

You should be comfortable working on complex applications where performance, reliability, security, and efficient resource utilization are important.

Experience

Preferred: 4+ years of professional software development experience, with significant hands-on experience in Rust development .

Candidates with fewer overall years of experience may also be considered if they demonstrate exceptional expertise in Rust, WebAssembly, and Rust-based frontend development .
