We're working with a growing, AI-native SaaS platform helping large enterprise brands unify, search, and activate their content across every source they own. The team is lean, the codebase is focused, and the roadmap for the next 12 months covers deduplication, campaign intelligence, and LLM-powered content insights. This is a senior IC role on the core backend team. You'll own production Rust services end to end, from architecture and design through to deployment and running in production. No DevOps handoff, no separate QA function. You ship it, you own it.

What you'll work with:

  • Rust (Tokio, Tonic/gRPC)
  • NATS for event-driven messaging
  • Postgres
  • Redis
  • OpenSearch
  • AWS (ECS, Lambda, RDS)
  • Terraform

The platform processes hundreds of thousands of events concurrently and is scaling fast.

What they're looking for:

  • Solid production Rust: idiomatic async Rust, strong grasp of ownership and lifetimes, robust error handling
  • A track record of designing and operating distributed backend services at scale
  • End-to-end ownership mentality: you design it, build it, test it, deploy it, improve it
  • Speed and decisiveness across the full delivery cycle, not just strong technical output in isolation
  • Comfortable with gRPC/Protobuf, event-driven architectures, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, GCP or Azure fine)
  • Experience with trunk-based development, CI/CD, and automated testing

What's on offer:

  • Stock options
  • Private medical and travel insurance
  • Travel expenses and lunches covered on office days
  • One day a week in central London
  • A flexible, people-first culture with access to leading AI tooling as part of your day-to-day workflow
