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)
