**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Engineering Department

## Description

About the Role

Remotebase places senior engineers with fast-growing product companies around the world. We’re building a pool of experienced **Rust Developers** for **Part-time Engagements** with our clients. You’ll build and maintain high-performance, reliable backend and systems software. Projects range from backend services and APIs to infrastructure tooling, data pipelines and performance-critical components.

This role suits engineers who already write production Rust and want flexible, meaningful work alongside their other commitments.

What You’ll Do

-   Design, build and maintain production-grade services and libraries in Rust
-   Write safe, idiomatic and well-tested code, with careful attention to performance and memory use
-   Build async services with Tokio and frameworks such as Axum, Actix-web or Tonic (gRPC)
-   Profile and optimize hot paths, and find and fix concurrency, latency and memory issues
-   Integrate with databases, message queues and cloud infrastructure
-   Review code, guide less-experienced engineers and contribute to technical design decisions
-   Work asynchronously with distributed teams, with clear written communication

## Requirements

-   5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years of production Rust
-   A deep understanding of ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, traits and generics
-   Strong hands-on experience with async Rust (Tokio, futures, Send/Sync bounds)
-   Experience building and running backend services or systems software in production
-   Solid grasp of concurrency, memory management and performance profiling
-   Comfortable with testing in Rust (unit, integration, property-based) and with CI/CD
-   Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases (Postgres, Redis and so on) through crates such as sqlx, Diesel or SeaORM
-   Familiarity with Docker, Linux and at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP or Azure)
-   Strong written and spoken English
-   Reliable availability of 20 hours/week, with 4 hours of overlap with US timezone.

Nice to Have

-   Unsafe Rust, FFI (C/C++ or Python via PyO3) or WebAssembly
-   Embedded, networking, blockchain or distributed-systems experience
-   Open-source contributions to the Rust ecosystem
-   Experience with observability tools (tracing, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus)
-   Background in C++ or Go

## Benefits

In addition to a market competitive compensation, we have a reward philosophy that expand beyond this.

-   Fully remote with office optional. You decide when you would like to work from home and when from the office.
-   Flexible timings. You decide your work scheduled.
-   Market competitive compensation (in $$).
-   Insane learning and growth
