Zanzibar information

What is a Zanzibar?

There is no specific job titled "Zanzibar," but Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania known for its tourism, spice trade, and fishing industries. Jobs in Zanzibar typically fall within these sectors, including hospitality, tour guiding, agriculture, and marine-related work. Many expatriates and locals find employment in hotels, resorts, and conservation projects. If you're looking for opportunities in Zanzibar, consider roles in tourism, teaching, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

What does a Zanzibar do?

As a software engineer working on a Zanzibar team—focused on building and maintaining scalable authorization systems like Google's Zanzibar—you'll primarily design, implement, and optimize access control systems. Daily tasks often include collaborating with product managers and backend engineers to define authorization requirements, writing and reviewing code, creating tests to ensure security and correctness, and monitoring system performance. You may also participate in architectural discussions and incident response rotations to maintain high system reliability. This role typically involves close teamwork, especially with security, infrastructure, and application development teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Zanzibar?

I'm sorry, but 'Zanzibar' is not a recognized professional occupation, so I cannot provide job-relevant skills or qualifications for this title.

What is the difference between Zanzibar vs Event Coordinator?

AspectZanzibarEvent Coordinator
Required CredentialsHigh school diploma or equivalent; hospitality or tourism certificationsHigh school diploma; event planning certifications often preferred
Work EnvironmentResort, hotel, or tourism industry; outdoor and hospitality settingsConference centers, hotels, or event venues; indoor and outdoor settings
Industry UsageTourism, hospitality, travel industryEvent planning, hospitality, corporate events

While Zanzibar professionals focus on hospitality and tourism services in a resort or hotel setting, Event Coordinators organize and manage events across various venues. Both roles require customer service skills and industry knowledge, but Zanzibar roles are more hospitality-oriented, whereas Event Coordinators have a broader scope in event management.

Key responsibilities

  • Design, build, and ship production Rust services end-to-end, including database schema and migrations, APIs, and related features.

  • Own and develop features in the cloud GraphQL API, including schema, resolvers, SQL queries, authorization, search, and messaging.

  • Build and evolve async, concurrent systems with Tokio services, background workers, and streaming APIs, ensuring correctness under load and observability in production.


Job description

Sr. Rust Engineer

Long Term Contract

What you'll do:

  • Design, build, and ship production Rust services end-to-end from Postgres schema and migrations up through GraphQL and gRPC APIs for tens of thousands of users, with care for backwards compatibility and gated rollout of behavior changes.
  • Own features in our cloud GraphQL API: async-graphql schema and resolvers, sqlx queries and migrations (raw, compile-checked SQL no ORM), relationship-based authorization (Ory Keto), search (Meilisearch), and messaging (NATS/JetStream).
  • Build and evolve async, concurrent systems with Tokio services, background workers, and streaming APIs that stay correct under load and observable in production.
  • Work across gRPC / Protobuf service boundaries (Tonic/Prost), treating published surfaces as backwards-compatibility contracts.
  • Contribute to shared foundational crates with wide blast radius, keeping changes narrow and well-tested.
  • Extend Strada's peer-to-peer architecture iroh/QUIC transport, WebRTC signaling, TURN, NAT traversal where media transfers directly between machines.
  • Depending on your interests and the team's needs, go deep on the GStreamer media pipeline (custom elements, pro codecs, low-latency streaming) or the cloud and data plane (API, storage, search, auth).
  • Instrument everything (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus) and take part in CI/CD on AWS EKS (Terraform/Terragrunt, GitHub Actions).

What you bring:

Must-have (core, non-negotiable)

  • Strong production Rust ownership, borrowing and lifetimes, traits, error handling, and a type system used well.
  • Solid async Rust (Tokio or equivalent): tasks, channels, streams, cancellation, and reasoning clearly about concurrency correctness.
  • Experience designing and operating backend services and their APIs (HTTP / GraphQL / gRPC).
  • Production experience with relational databases and SQL (PostgreSQL preferred), including schema design and migrations comfortable with raw SQL, not just an ORM.
  • A solid grasp of auth fundamentals OAuth2 / JWT, and RBAC or relationship-based access control.
  • At home in a command-line, cloud-native workflow (Docker, CI/CD, some cloud infrastructure exposure), collaborating and reviewing code in a sizable codebase.

Where you could make a big impact:

  • These are areas you can own and go deep on any one is a way to have outsized impact, and a couple can be a specialty in their own right.
  • Real-time and networking systems WebRTC (SDP/ICE/TURN), QUIC, NAT traversal, or libraries like iroh.
  • Media and streaming GStreamer, professional video codecs (ProRes, RED R3D, Blackmagic RAW), AVFoundation / VideoToolbox, low-latency pipelines.
  • Systems-level / OS work daemons and background services (launchd / Windows services), Unix domain sockets and named pipes, virtual filesystems (NFS / FSKit / WinFsp), caching, and content addressing.

Nice to have / bonus:

  • gRPC / Protobuf on the Rust stack (Tonic/Prost), with schema-evolution and backwards-compat discipline.
  • async-graphql or other production GraphQL server experience.
  • sqlx specifically (compile-time-checked queries, offline mode) and Postgres performance tuning.
  • Ory (Keto/Oathkeeper) or other Zanzibar-style authorization; Auth0.
  • Cloud-native ops AWS (EKS, ECR, S3), Kubernetes, Terraform/Terragrunt, NATS, Meilisearch.
  • Cross-language FFI (swift-bridge, Rust wift/TS bindings) handy, since our clients embed Rust.
  • Nix/devenv reproducible environments and just-based task runners.
  • Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, PrometheGrafana/Tempo).
  • A background in film, video, or post-production, or other professional media workflows.
