Senior/Staff Platform Engineer - Rust (d/f/m)

🚀 YOUR ROLE

Team Core is our platform team. Its job is to make all our other engineering teams more productive and to improve our codebase and infrastructure as a whole. You’ll:

• Keep our DevOps setup and CI/CD pipelines fast and reliable
• Build tools every team needs (e.g. interface for building permissions)
• Act as an in-house Rust expert: our backend is a Rust monolith, and Team Core helps the other teams use good Rust patterns and architecture
• Be responsible for the Developer Experience (DX).
• Help our engineers use agents more productively

Other details

• Location: remote-first, within two hours of CET. We prefer Munich > Berlin > Germany > Europe.
• Tech stack: Rust, TypeScript + React, Postgres, Clickhouse, Redis, Kafka, Kubernetes, Helm, Flux
• 🇺🇸 Some of the work in this role falls under US export control regulations (ITAR), so you must be a US citizen. You’ll need to be based in Europe, and if you’re currently in the US, we’ll support your relocation to Germany.

🖲️ OUR TECH STACK

We always try to use the best tools available for the job. Don't worry, we don't need you to be familiar with all of these:

• Main monolith is written in Rust (using actix-web as our web framework), deployed on Kubernetes
• React and Typescript for frontend
• PostgreSQL for persisting our data
• Redis for caching and queues
• Flux for GitOps
• Honeycomb, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and observability
• garden-io for developing on Kubernetes
• Azure and Cloudflare for cloud computing
