Develops and maintains high-performance scanner platform components in Rust and Go, focusing on distributed systems, secure communications, and reliable updates under production constraints.
This is a high-priority role focused on core scanner platform components where performance, correctness, and secure software delivery matter. You will work on systems that handle distributed workloads, secure communications, and reliable update flows under real production constraints.
Responsibilities
Build scanner runtime services in Rust and Go with strong performance and reliability characteristics
Design resilient ingestion and correlation pipelines for scanner telemetry
Implement secure update workflows and verify package integrity end to end
Harden service-to-service communication using mTLS and gRPC
Design robust retry, backoff, and throttling strategies for AWS and Azure integrations
Requirements
Strong Rust experience beyond basic application development, including async systems and performance-oriented engineering
Experience building backend systems in Go for production environments
A solid understanding of distributed systems patterns such as CQRS and event sourcing
Experience designing reliable event processing systems and understanding the tradeoffs around exactly-once delivery
Deep networking knowledge, including mTLS, gRPC, NAT traversal, and HTTP/2
Experience implementing secure software update frameworks such as TUF or Omaha
Hands‑on experience handling production cloud constraints such as throttling and rate limits in AWS or Azure
Must Have
3+ years of backend or systems engineering experience with strong Rust skills and production Go experience
Hands‑on experience with async runtime behavior, performance tuning, and concurrency tradeoffs
A deep understanding of distributed systems and practical tradeoffs in event‑driven architecture
Proven experience implementing secure update systems such as TUF or Omaha
Strong networking fundamentals across modern service‑to‑service communication patterns
Nice to Have
Experience with no_std Rust or constrained runtime environments
Background building scanner, endpoint, or security platform products
Experience designing highly reliable event pipelines with clear delivery guarantees
