We’re looking for a mid-level Rust Software Engineer to build and optimize high-performance software supporting simulation, optimization, and decision support in mission-focused environments.
You’ll work in a large, production Rust codebase alongside researchers and engineers, turning complex algorithms and research into reliable, performant software. The role spans backend services, databases, frontend applications, and supporting infrastructure, making it a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and seeing research become operational capability.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain production software in a large Rust codebase
- Design and optimize performance-sensitive algorithms and computational workloads
- Build backend services using technologies such as Axum and Tokio
- Integrate software with databases, frontend applications, APIs, and infrastructure
- Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and end users to translate complex technical concepts into practical software
- Help evolve research-driven capabilities into scalable, maintainable production systems
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong experience developing production-grade, performance-sensitive software in Rust
- Experience developing backend services with Axum or similar frameworks
- Experience with asynchronous programming, preferably using Tokio
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving skills
- Experience working across the software stack, including familiarity with web application development
- Ability to collaborate effectively with researchers, engineers, and end users
- U.S. citizenship required
- ACTIVE SECRET Security Clearance
Preferred Qualifications
- ACTIVE TS/SCI CLEARANCE
- Experience with Java, Python, TypeScript, and/or React
- Experience developing highly optimized parallel or concurrent software
- Experience with GPU programming or acceleration
- Background working on simulation, optimization, scientific computing, or other computationally intensive applications
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging, mission-critical software where performance matters and your work directly contributes to real-world capabilities. You’ll have the chance to operate at the intersection of advanced research and production engineering, working with a highly technical team to turn sophisticated algorithms into software that performs in the real world.
