RUST Developer

You will be responsible for improving we build and maintain software, alongside actively contributing to product development. Senior Software Engineer is responsible for the quality of engineering practices within a team. Senior Software Engineers work across teams to identify cross-team improvements (for example) sharing code, removing complexity or implementing new practices. As a senior member of the team you are expected to mentor and grow other software engineers and act as a go-to person within the team and the wider organisation across multiple codebases and languages.

Key Responsibilities

• Advocates for and models great quality with proactive actions, and tackles difficult and subtle system issues
• Uses systematic debugging to diagnose all issues within a set of related domains and leads in fostering a culture of observability and monitoring across several teams
• Regularly works across teams to build a culture for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling.
• Is a technical and prioritisation leader across a set of related team's domains, consistently pushing boundaries and exploring gaps in understanding.
• Is a go-to within the team and the wider organisation across multiple codebases and languages.
• Be proactive and require minimal supervision or mentoring to complete tasks
• Review specifications produced by architects and formal methods specialists
• Lead the design of components and their interactions
• Be available for emergency fixing of severity 1 issues on deployed products
• Integrate software components and third-party libraries
• Verify and deploy programs and systems
• Write documentation for the code
• Write technical user manuals

Key Competencies

• Ability to understand project needs, objectives and timescales to feed into planning and setting deadlines for a specific stream.
• Clearly articulates new issues, suggests changes to management for implementation.
• Write idiomatic code that satisfies the acceptance criteria of a given task
• Write tests (unit tests, property tests) that provide sufficient and non-superfluous efficient code coverage.
• Document code and APIs concisely and unambiguously
• Provide detailed guidance on the work to be done, assist with task assignments and deliver deep reviews and feedback on the work.
• Pragmatically adhere to software engineering principles (modularity, incremental development, no premature optimization, no feature creep, no speculative generality)

Education / Experience

• Degree in Computer Science is desirable but not essential
• 7+ years of software engineering experience in the required language ( Haskell, Javascript, Scala, Rust)
• Experience working with Git and Git workflow
• Practical experience with Agile software development methods
• Knowledge of functional and object-oriented programming paradigms

Specialist Skills

• Strong experience with the Rust programming language in production environments.
• Expert-level understanding of Rust’s ownership model, borrowing mechanics, lifetimes, and concurrency paradigms.
• Experience in developing web services and RESTful APIs.
• Understanding of HTTP protocols, accessibility, and security compliance.
• Knowledge of distributed systems and network development.
• Experience with concurrent programming and multithreading.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes).
• Understanding of continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
• Experience with software development methods such as test-driven development.
• Knowledge of cryptography protocols is a plus.
• Experience with Web3 technologies is an added advantage.
