[Hiring] Senior Backend Software Engineer @Surt AI

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the "brain" of our application. This is a heavy-coding, high-impact role where performance is the baseline. You will be responsible for architecting and building high-performance compute engines, translating complex business logic into lightning-fast, memory-safe Rust services.

If you are a builder who believes that "if it's worth doing twice, it's worth automating," and you have a deep appreciation for the elegance of the Rust borrow checker, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

• Build the Core: Develop and maintain mission-critical business logic using Rust and the Tokio runtime, deployed primarily via high-performance Lambda functions.
• Architect Infrastructure: Take full ownership of your stack using Terraform. You’ll provision and manage everything from DynamoDB schemas to API Gateways and event-driven pipelines.
• Optimize & Profile: Profile memory usage and execution timing to shave off milliseconds and minimize compute overhead.
• Define the Interface: Design and implement robust REST APIs that serve as the bridge between our complex backend logic and the frontend.
• Cultivate Excellence: Set the bar for Rust within the team. Establish coding standards, mentor others, and conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure our "brain" remains healthy and scalable.

Qualifications

• Deep experience with ownership, lifetimes, and asynchronous programming in Rust.
• Understanding of the nuances of event-driven architecture.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• Managed NoSQL databases (DynamoDB) and disciplined approach to observability.
• View unit and integration tests as a core part of the feature.

Requirements

• Rust Mastery: Familiarity with the ecosystem (Serde, Axum/Tower, etc.).
• Serverless Native: Ability to work within and around the constraints of serverless environments.
• Automation First: A "script-first" mentality.
• Data & Observability: Experience with tools like CloudWatch and CloudTrail.
• Testing Discipline: Commitment to testing as an integral part of development.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
