WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for someone interested in the Rust Programming Language, ideally with some experience using Rust. Someone with overflowing curiosity, who is self-driven, and is interested in owning the vision and “why” for their project. If you have an interest in compilers, toolchains, operating systems, safety-critical software, or low-level development, this may be the team for you. Our team is composed of senior engineers who have chosen deep paths as ICs rather than going into management, so if you’re interested in seeing up close how to be an impactful high-level IC, it is a great opportunity. Our team appreciates good humor and we think it brings something special to our team atmosphere. Above all, we are a team of people who deeply care about what we are doing, so we hope to find someone who wants to care about what they do, why they do it, and how.
