UK, fully remote (Must be based in the UK now)

Sadly no sponsorship possible

Up to £95K

Skills: Rust | Backend Systems | gRPC | Postgres | Integrations

I'm partnering with an early-stage, product-led startup building a platform for transport operations - frankly, one of the most complex, real-time environments in the world. The team are already profit making with runway for the next 2 years (if they brought no further clients on).

Please note, some travel across Europe/USA may be required.

Core skills we look for:

• Rust (2+ years commercial experience)
• gRPC
• PostgreSQL or SQL
• Professional experience in developing integrations with third-party systems
• CI/CD, Docker, GitHub Actions

Why this role?

• High-ownership role with real production impact
• Technically challenging domain (real-time systems, integrations, complex data models)
• Early-stage environment with influence over architecture and product direction

What you'll be doing:

• Build and maintain Rust-based backend services using gRPC and Postgres
• Design and own integrations with external client systems
• Lead technical conversations with product teams and customers to gather requirements, shape solutions and deliver new features
• Design data models
• Contribute to frontend development in React/Android when needed

Helpful skills if you had them:

• Streaming or unary gRPC
• Apache Arrow / Parquet
• Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch)
