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

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

Just so you know – we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications for this role. We care much more about your motivation and ability to help us accelerate technical progress than we care just about your CV. If you're interested to find out more about why we banned requirements from our performance profiles – see here https://medium.com/startup-grind/why-we-banned-requirements-from-our-job-descriptions-33a774e1a1c2.

• 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.

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
