About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and build high-correctness Rust services that sit on critical platform paths
Introduce Rust into areas where safety, determinism, and performance are essential
Own systems from architecture → implementation → rollout → operations
Make real decisions around concurrency, async boundaries, data integrity, and failure modes
Work across service boundaries in a polyglot environment (Rust alongside other stacks)
Collaborate with product, design, and frontend engineers to build systems that are technically sound and product-aware
Improve reliability, observability, and system behavior through design, not just patching
Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on system quality and ownership
