Description

  • Design, develop, and maintain production Rust applications, including backend services, APIs, and system-level components.

  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how testing fits into a production deployment workflow.
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes and containerized environments for deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting services.
  • Experience with observability and alerting tools and practices, including structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics, and alerting configuration.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, product managers, and leadership.
  • Willingness and ability to mentor junior engineers through code review, pair programming, and knowledge sharing.
  • Located in Ontario, Canada, preferably Toronto.
  • Available for a 3-month fixed-term salaried contract.
