Senior Rust Engineer
Churerstrasse 82, 8808 Pfäffikon SZ · IT-Sicherheit, Kryptographie · Secure messaging software · 60 · Deutsch
Wer wir sind
Threema is the world’s best-selling secure messenger for both private users and businesses. Since 2012, we have been working tirelessly to ensure that our users can communicate freely without worrying about their privacy. Our growing user base includes millions of private customers and thousands of businesses and organizations from all over the world.
What You Will Do
- Design and build backend services in Rust that handle high-throughput, low-latency messaging traffic
- Work on core infrastructure: message queues, delivery guarantees, connection handling, and storage layers
- Debug and optimize systems under real production load, not just in benchmarks
- Review code and mentor other engineers on Rust patterns and systems design
- Take ownership of a service end to end, from design through deployment and maintenance
What We’re Looking For
- More than ten years of professional software engineering experience, with at least two years writing Rust in production
- Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and systems programming
- Experience with distributed systems: what happens when a network partitions, a node dies, or a queue backs up
- Comfort working close to the metal when needed, whether that’s networking, storage engines, or protocol design
- Experience in working on scalable, low-latency, high-throughput systems
- Good communication skills: you will need to explain trade-offs to people who don’t write Rust
- A degree in computer science or equivalent experience; we care more about what you’ve shipped than where you studied
