Rust Backend Engineer at TechShack

Rust Backend Engineer | High-Performance AI Platform

I’m helping a well-backed European startup that’s building a next-gen AI orchestration platform. They’ve got fresh funding, strong revenue already, and a product that’s about to launch and they need a Rust Backend Engineer to help scale it.

Why this role’s exciting

• Backend is built entirely in Rust
• Work on distributed orchestration, APIs, embeddings, and real-time systems
• Modern stack: Rust, Axum, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes
• Salary up to €80K + equity
• Remote-friendly (working hours within a few hours of CET)

What they’re looking for

• 3+ years of experience in backend engineering (Rust in production, or Go/Java engineers with serious Rust projects)
• Strong SQL skills, ideally with PostgreSQL
• Background in distributed systems and containerisation (Docker, K8s)
• Nice to have: experience working with LLMs

Why join

• Small, high-quality team where your work will have impact from day one
• Complex technical challenges that are genuinely rewarding to solve
• Backing from a top European fund with plenty of runway
• Straightforward hiring process, a few conversations and a chance to show your code is enough
