Senior Software Engineer

Rust Engineer | Sydney Based

Work for a product company building high-performance software at scale and growing its engineering team with multiple Rust hires.

This is proper systems-level Rust work. You’ll be building high-performance, scalable backend systems designed to process large volumes of data where performance, concurrency and reliability genuinely matter.

What you’ll be working on

• Building core backend services and infrastructure in Rust
• Designing systems for high-throughput, large-scale data processing
• Working heavily with async Rust, concurrency and distributed systems
• Solving performance, reliability and scalability challenges
• Contributing to architecture and technical decisions as the platform grows

What they’re looking for

• Strong commercial Rust experience
• Async Rust, ideally Tokio
• Strong understanding of ownership, borrowing, lifetimes and memory management
• Experience with distributed systems, high-performance backends or data-intensive platforms
• Comfortable with concurrency, APIs and large-scale data processing
• gRPC, streaming and cloud experience is highly regarded but not essential

What’s on offer

• Flexible working arrangements
• Multiple positions available
• Complex technical problems with genuine scale
• Opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the architecture of a growing platform

If you’re a Rust Engineer who enjoys getting close to the performance and infrastructure layer rather than simply building standard application features, I’d be keen to chat.
