Job description

Role

We are looking for a Principal Rust Developer to join our Platform Convergence Team. This is a hybrid role based in San Jose, CA reporting to the Sr. Director, Software Engineering. Join us to build a new platform from the ground up that can scale hundreds of millions of users with high reliability and low latency. You will design and implement distributed system and core infrastructure components while collaborating closely with various stakeholders.

What you'll do (Role Expectations)

  • Design and build a low-latency, high-throughput data forwarding plane using Rust, leveraging its async/await model for efficient I/O and service-oriented infrastructure
  • Develop distributed, scalable systems with a focus on concurrency, fault tolerance, and messaging
  • Implement and maintain gRPC-based APIs and services to integrate forwarding plane capabilities with control and orchestration layers
  • Optimize system performance through profiling tools across kernel-space and user-space
  • Engage in code reviews, system design discussions, technical documentation, and mentoring junior engineers

Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You act like an owner, fueling your bias for action with a passion for the mission and navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a problem-solver who seeks out challenges and is energized by finding solutions to hard problems that deliver the biggest impact.
  • You are customer-obsessed, building deep empathy for internal and external customers and anchoring every decision in solving their real-world problems.
  • You are driven by innovation and technical curiosity, constantly looking for better, more secure, and scalable ways to accelerate transformation.
  • You think at scale, connecting your work to the larger company mission and building solutions that support a high-growth, global organization.

What We're Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Extensive experience coding with Rust, particularly in systems programming and async frameworks like Tokio or async-std
  • Proven expertise in building resilient, observable, and horizontally scalable distributed systems
  • Strong understanding of Linux fundamentals, including networking, namespaces, sockets, and kernel-user space interaction
  • Proficiency in container-based environments, Git, CI/CD workflows, and performance instrumentation

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Experience with systems languages like C/C++ or Go, particularly in performance-critical environments
  • Familiarity with Linux networking stacks, kernel-space technologies such as eBPF or DPDK, and Kubernetes networking or service meshes
  • Hands-on experience with gRPC, Protobufs, and L2-L4 networking protocols including TCP/IP, QUIC, or routing encapsulations
