- Performance Optimisation: Debug and optimise systems for performance, memory usage, concurrent programming, and maximum reliability.
- Hardware Integration: Interface software with custom low-level platforms, handling protocols for connected fleet and transit gateways.
- Process & Documentation: Participate actively in agile development processes, manage your own workload, and contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing.
Essential Requirements
- Experience & Technical Skills:
- Commercial Track Record: A minimum of 2+ years of commercial software development experience, with demonstrable experience deploying Rust in production environments.
- Systems Programming Foundations: Strong background in Rust, or an expert-level background in C/C++ development paired with strong, demonstrable Rust competence.
- Low-Level Mastery: Deep comfort with systems programming concepts specifically memory management, multi-threading, threading, and concurrency.
- Rust Specifics: Exceptionally proficient in Rust's ownership model, borrowing mechanisms, and lifetimes.
- Ecosystem Familiarity: Comfortable operating within Linux/Unix development environments, utilizing version control (Git), and engaging with modern CI/CD practices.
- Testing & Quality: Proven experience working with testing frameworks and writing long-term maintainable code.
