About the role
- Design and build a Rust UI framework targeting the Mathematica notebook interface, including a state management system, event handling system, and a Wolfram Box Language templating system.
- Investigate and leverage low-level Mathematica front-end APIs for integration into the framework.
- Maintain Rust FFI libraries to surface numerical logic and drive dynamic UI interfaces in the Mathematica notebook front end.
- Provide assistance to Scientific Computing Engineers to port their numerical and analytical algorithms into Rust.
- Coordinate with Site Reliability Engineering and Front End teams to maintain and expand CI/CD process.
- Collaborate with leadership to define technical direction and prioritize new features.
- Serve as founding members of a new team, shaping technology and culture and integrating data analysis and visualization applications into the flagship desktop product.
Requirements
- B.S. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or similar.
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Practical experience with Rust in professional or open-source contexts, particularly using its strong type system to improve code safety and correctness in domain-specific applications.
- Has experience with OCAML
- Strong ability to collaborate across diverse backgrounds, including technical scientists, product leaders, and engineers, to translate requirements into performant applications.
- Ability to work with rapidly evolving requirements and incomplete specifications.
- Strong debugging, performance optimization, and low-level programming skills.
- Comfortable working across multiple layers of a stack, from back-end systems to user-facing components.
- Interest in shaping the culture and practices of a new engineering team.
- Nice to Have: Experience writing and integrating shared libraries using FFI (foreign function interfaces), and working with low-level APIs or runtime environments.
- Nice to Have: Familiarity with Mathematica and its runtime environment.
- Nice to Have: Experience building dynamic user interfaces in the Mathematica notebook front end.
- Nice to Have: Some background in numerical computing or scientific software.
