We are looking for two Rust Developers to join us. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the execution of greenfield projects in the rapidly evolving field of AI and shape the industry’s direction towards more secure solutions.

The Security for AI team: We’re setting the standard for how AI and agentic workflows are secured. Our current focus is on access management for AI agents, ensuring they can safely and seamlessly interact with other software and systems while keeping the credentials used in this exchange secure. We work across a wide-ranging tech stack in a fast‑moving space. Our projects span across client‑side and system‑level logic to back‑end systems. You’ll bring a breadth of experience that allows you to quickly jump into new tech stacks and domains and help us create and shape new products and features for this emerging market.

What you can expect:

• Solve complex technical problems by designing and writing code.
• Continue learning - this role spans a broad tech stack and fast‑moving domain - we don’t expect you to already know everything you’ll need to know, and expect you to continue learning and will provide opportunities and mentoring.
• Participate in planning by identifying major tasks and breaking down, estimating, and planning work.
• Review code for others to maintain high code quality, knowledge share within the team, and support creating a safe environment of giving and receiving feedback.
• Stay informed about the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices in development.
• Mentor junior and new team members by providing technical guidance, sharing knowledge, and engaging in pair programming sessions.
