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:

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

This is an excellent opportunity to join one of the most rapidly scaling companies in Europe, that are developing truly cutting edge software and hardware.
