Posted on Apr 18, 2025
We are looking for software engineers to join our small team with big responsibilities. The role involves a tremendous amount of individual responsibility and influence over the direction of the core service. We believe in small agile teams and their ability to deliver high-quality, high-impact software. We share code ownership and knowledge through the Agile technique of pair-programming. Our codebase is written entirely in modern Rust using the latest technologies and coding practices. We rely on sustainable coding through focus on readable, maintainable, and performant code. As such, we lean heavily on Rust and its great tooling to fearlessly develop highly efficient distributed systems code. We use multiple levels of testing to ensure we have low-level performance (such as tests to validate the number of allocations and bytes used) as well as correctness (such as tests with fault injection, and race condition simulation). Combined with the powerful borrow checker and strong type system of Rust, we can develop complex systems with confidence.
