Rust Engineer

An innovative, long-established technology business is building the next generation of intelligent control and automation systems - and they’re looking for a skilled Rust Developer to join the team.

This is a greenfield project where you’ll play a central role in designing and implementing a new communication and networking layer for large-scale distributed systems. The work sits one layer above embedded firmware, focused on user-space development in Rust under Embedded Linux.

You’ll be joining a small, highly capable team working on cutting-edge IoT and smart infrastructure technology used across major global projects.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop Rust-based applications that enable efficient, secure communication between distributed devices.

*

Create and refine networking and messaging mechanisms for large-scale control systems.

*

Work closely with embedded engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software layers.

*

Contribute to architectural design, technical direction, and performance optimisation.

*

Help shape a brand-new platform built around reliability, scalability, and open communication standards.

About You

You’ll be a developer who enjoys working close to the hardware, designing efficient and reliable systems that scale. You’ll have moved beyond the early learning curve of Rust and now want to apply it in a real-world, production environment.

Essential skills:

*

Strong programming experience in Rust (beyond hobbyist level).

*

Experience developing within Linux user-space environments (e.g. Yocto or similar).

*

Solid understanding of network communication or IoT-style systems.

Ideally you'll also have:

*

Experience with open protocols (e.g. BACnet, CoAP, Matter).

On offer is a salary up to £65k + benefits including 25 days holiday, 5% pension contribution, and flexible hybrid working (1/2 p/week on-site).
