Monday Through Friday Rust Remote Jobs in California

What MatX Is Building

MatX is seeking engineers with strong Rust skills to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. We are looking for engineers to support work in these areas: Infrastructure, Performance, Runtime, Tooling/Testing, Verification.

What You'll Do Here

• Use your experience to expand upon and build new infrastructure and tooling to support hardware and/or software teams. 
• Design/implement our Rust based simulator
• Build the host-side interface library 
• Write tests that systematically explore corner cases and rare event sequences - both targeted tests and tests that use randomization to find surprises
• Work across hardware, architecture and software teams to turn specifications into concrete, testable properties

Who You Are

• Proficient in production Rust - you've shipped real systems. You're comfortable with ownership, traits, generics with bounds, and enums as sum types. You understand why Result is better than exceptions and what the borrow checker is actually protecting you from
• 3+ years of experience
• Strong engineering fundamentals - you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows
• Comfortable with low-level systems concepts: memory layout, concurrency, bit manipulation
• Genuinely interested in hardware and willing to ramp quickly
• This is a remote (with travel) or hybrid role based in Mountain View

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with hardware in any capacity - FPGA projects, embedded systems, robotics, or prior roles touching hardware engineering; Accelerators are a huge plus
• Experience with foreign function interfaces - Rust FFI is ideal, but any experience crossing language boundaries is valuable
• Formal methods, model checking, or property-based testing (e.g., proptest, Kani)
• Understanding of computer architecture: pipelines, caches, memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects
• Familiarity with ML Systems/Frameworks

Compensation

The US base salary for this full-time position is determined based on a variety of factors including role, experience, location, job related skills, and relevant education and training. Career length is only a guideline for compensation.
