Rust Senior Software Engineer – Bare Metal as a Service & Datacenter Networking

About the Team

Our engineering team builds next-generation, cloud-native bare-metal orchestration platforms for AI neo-cloud environments. We operate on a T-shaped engineering model: while each engineer brings deep expertise in a primary domain, every team member maintains practical fluency across neighboring systems. This shared foundation enables rigorous design reviews, effective cross-domain code reviews, and dependable on-call coverage. Our development is fundamentally based on open-source projects, and contributing to them is a major part of our work.

We develop primary control plane software in Rust and Go, leverage Kubernetes operators, and foster an OpenTelemetry-first operational culture. 

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who combines strong software architecture principles with deep technical domain expertise in Datacenter Networking and DPU architectures. Fitting into our T-shaped engineering model, you will drive the development of control planes powering high-density, high-throughput infrastructure for AI training and inference workloads. Familiarity with automated bare-metal provisioning and lifecycle management is a strong asset.

Core Responsibilities

• Control Plane Development: Design, build, and maintain production-grade control plane microservices, custom Kubernetes operators, and robust reconciliation engines in Rust and Go.

• Architecture & API Design: Author clear Functional (FR) and Non-Functional Requirements (NFR), architectural specs, system sequence diagrams, and clean gRPC/Protobuf and REST API schemas.

• Network Integration: Develop custom integration modules and integrations for modern network operating systems (SONiC, NVUE, Cumulus) and DPU hardware platforms.

• Observability & Diagnostics: Instrument services end-to-end using OpenTelemetry (OTel) traces and metrics, performing systematic root-cause analysis across polyglot distributed systems.

• Quality & Engineering Excellence: Participate in rigorous, review-gated pull request workflows across Rust, Go, and SQL codebases while ensuring high test coverage via mock-driven testing.
