Senior Backend Developer (Rust)
We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer with strong expertise in Rust and modern event-driven microservices architecture to help build and evolve the backend infrastructure of our Cybercast platform. This role requires a proactive engineer who can take ownership of complex backend systems, drive integration with security tools, and productize existing workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain high-throughput, secure, and auditable backend services using Rust.
- Apply CQRS and event sourcing patterns to build systems that capture and persist long-lived, immutable event streams.
- Integrate third-party and internal security services (such as offensive security automation tools and API outputs) into core platform workflows.
- Productize existing manual or ad-hoc workflows (e.g., cron jobs used by penetration testing teams) into reliable, scalable services.
- Leverage RabbitMQ or equivalent technologies to orchestrate event processing pipelines.
- Ensure robust handling of data lineage, history, and security across distributed components.
- Collaborate with frontend and DevOps teams to deliver end-to-end platform features.
Technical Requirements
- Proficient in Rust: Capable of developing and maintaining idiomatic, efficient Rust code; must be comfortable navigating the Rust ecosystem and working seamlessly with its compiler and borrow checker.
- CQRS and Event Sourcing: Deep understanding of Command Query Responsibility Segregation and event sourcing design patterns.
- Event-Driven Systems: Proven experience building backend services that rely on long-lived, immutable event streams.
- Message Queue Proficiency: Familiarity with message brokers such as RabbitMQ; experience with Kafka or Kinesis is also acceptable.
- API and Security Integration: Comfortable integrating with third-party APIs, especially in the security tooling and platform space.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with auditing and compliance tooling in distributed systems.
