Rust Developer

**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.
