Really Good Intro: Software Engineer, Rust Specialist
System-obsessed, performance-driven, and fluent in Rust, WebAssemby and all things backend
This isn't your average early-career engineer. With over 3 years of experience, they’ve already built cryptographic tooling for the browser, optimized performance at scale, and contributed serious value to both startups and open-source communities.
They’ve worked across blockchain, developer tooling, and backend infrastructure, making everything from command-line interfaces (CLIs) to crypto wallets faster, safer, and easier to use. They're the kind of person who writes their own parser for fun and actually makes robots smarter on weekends.
What Makes Them Awesome:
Built a WebAssembly-powered wallet SDK that brought async crypto operations to the browser—think web3.js, but faster and more elegant.
Improved developer productivity by ~30% by implementing a RocksDB caching layer for millions of user notes.
Authored an internal CLI upgrade that consolidated server logs and doubled testing speed for teammates.
Created their company's first open-source crate: a data sanitizer that cleaned up 500+ structures with ease.
Built a TOML parser from scratch—yes, really—and it passes the official test suite.
Programmed a YOLOv8-powered turtlebot to detect and chase objects autonomously (just because they could).
Credentials You’ll Like:
B.S. in Computer Science
3+ years of hands-on experience in backend systems, developer tooling, and robotics
Languages: Rust, JavaScript, C#, HTML/CSS
Tools & Tech: WebAssembly, RocksDB, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, gRPC, ASP.NET Core, Figma
What They're Looking For:
A deeply technical team that can build serious systems with serious performance. They want to keep learning, keep pushing Rust, and keep working on projects that require thought, care, and clean abstractions.
