Rust Backend Engineer — Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

Rust Back End Engineer

Los Angeles (West Hollywood), 4 days in office

$175k to $200k + equity

We've been retained by an early-stage startup that builds operations software for airlines. Their platform helps dispatchers and pilots make better calls in real time. Live flight data goes in, and decisions that save fuel, time and disruption come out.

They’re already live with major carriers and more are lining up. Right now the founder is still writing a lot of the back end himself. That’s the work you’d take over.

What you’ll do

• Own the back end that powers live flight monitoring and optimisation

• Build services that deal with real-time data streams at scale

• Shape the architecture as the product and customer base grow

• Work closely with the founder and a small, sharp engineering team

What they’re looking for

• Strong production experience with async Rust

• Background in real-time systems and event-driven services

• Comfortable working in the cloud

• Aerospace or aviation experience is a big plus

• If you can think at senior or staff level about architecture, even better, but it isn’t a must

Why it’s worth a look

• Your code ends up in front of people flying real aircraft

• Big ownership early on

• A small team where you’ll actually see your impact
