Senior Rust/Embedded Developer

We're working with an innovative technology company looking to hire an experienced Rust Developer to join a small, highly collaborative engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems independently while contributing to a close-knit environment.

You'll be developing high-performance software where Rust's memory safety and concurrency capabilities are central to the product. The position focuses on embedded systems rather than server-side development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance software using Rust.
• Produce clean, efficient, and maintainable code following Rust best practices.
• Collaborate with engineers on architecture, technical design, and code reviews.
• Take ownership of features throughout the full development lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot and optimise software for performance, memory efficiency, and reliability.
• Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Participate in Agile development processes while managing your own workload.

Required Experience

Essential

• 2+ years' commercial software development experience.
• Proven experience developing production software in Rust.
• Strong background in Rust, or solid C/C++ experience with commercial Rust exposure.
• Good understanding of systems programming concepts, including memory management, concurrency, and multithreading.

Technical Skills

• Strong knowledge of Rust ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
• Understanding of memory-safe and concurrent programming techniques.
• Experience developing in Linux/Unix environments.
• Familiarity with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Experience writing maintainable, well-tested software.
