Senior Backend Developer (Rust)

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer with strong expertise in Rust and modern event-driven microservices architecture to help build and evolve the backend infrastructure of our Cybercast platform. This role requires a proactive engineer who can take ownership of complex backend systems, drive integration with security tools, and productize existing workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain high-throughput, secure, and auditable backend services using Rust.
• Apply CQRS and event sourcing patterns to build systems that capture and persist long-lived, immutable event streams.
• Integrate third-party and internal security services (such as offensive security automation tools and API outputs) into core platform workflows.
• Productize existing manual or ad-hoc workflows (e.g., cron jobs used by penetration testing teams) into reliable, scalable services.
• Leverage RabbitMQ or equivalent technologies to orchestrate event processing pipelines.
• Ensure robust handling of data lineage, history, and security across distributed components.
• Collaborate with frontend and DevOps teams to deliver end-to-end platform features.

Technical Requirements

• Proficient in Rust: Capable of developing and maintaining idiomatic, efficient Rust code; must be comfortable navigating the Rust ecosystem and working seamlessly with its compiler and borrow checker.
• CQRS and Event Sourcing: Deep understanding of Command Query Responsibility Segregation and event sourcing design patterns.
• Event-Driven Systems: Proven experience building backend services that rely on long-lived, immutable event streams.
• Message Queue Proficiency: Familiarity with message brokers such as RabbitMQ; experience with Kafka or Kinesis is also acceptable.
• API and Security Integration: Comfortable integrating with third-party APIs, especially in the security tooling and platform space.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with auditing and compliance tooling in distributed systems.
