Drones

We have a new and exclusive partnership with one of the most exciting scale-ups in Europe, who are looking to double in size their engineering team. They have a valuation exceeding 2 billion Euros.

The company builds aerial intelligence hardware and software. They're main focus is the manufacturing of UAV's. Alongside this, they are also developing bleeding edge software that provides actionable insights in defense, security and professional services.

The Rust Team:

The company are building a new Rust Engineering pod in the UK, and are hiring several Rust Engineers and a Team Lead. This engineering team are focusing on building a greenfield command and control center, designed specifically for unmanned systems.

What you'll be doing:

• Architect, build, and support reliable, high-performance systems for coordinating swarms and handling sensor data.
• Develop streamlined communication methods and real-time data processing tools tailored for robotic platforms.
• Work hand-in-hand with multidisciplinary teams to connect backend infrastructure with robotic applications and sensor arrays.
• Enhance overall system efficiency, expandability, and dependability within distributed robotic setups.

Experience you'll need:

• Production experience with Rust, or contributions to production grade open source repos. 2+ Years.
• Experience working with Tokio, or other asynchronous frameworks such as async.std or Smol.
• Ideally a background in a core programming language such as C, C++, or Core Java. Candidates from functional backgrounds such as Scala, Erlang or Clojure are also encouraged to apply.
• Experience developing low-latency, high throughput systems.

Nice to have:

• Experience working with drones or robotics
• experience working with microcontrollers
