Senior Rust Engineer | Version Control Systems | Open Source Infrastructure

We are looking for an experienced Rust Engineer to join a high-impact engineering initiative focused on the future of developer tooling, large-scale version control systems, and AI-assisted software development.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to open-source technologies that are enabling next-generation development workflows across large repositories, distributed teams, and automated agent-based environments.

You will work on challenging systems-level engineering problems spanning source control, distributed systems, cloud-backed repositories, virtual file systems, performance optimisation, and developer experience.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Extending and enhancing the version control ecosystem
  • Contributing to gitoxide and Git compatibility initiatives
  • Building cloud-native repository backends designed for enterprise-scale development
  • Developing high-performance storage, caching, and virtual filesystem solutions
  • Improving support for large repositories and distributed workflows
  • Designing extensibility frameworks, APIs, and plugin architectures
  • Enhancing developer tooling for AI-assisted and automated software engineering workflows
  • Collaborating directly with open-source maintainers and upstream communities

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Strong commercial experience with Rust
  • Deep understanding of Git and modern version control concepts
  • Experience building developer tools, infrastructure platforms, SDKs, CLIs, or systems software
  • Strong knowledge of software architecture and distributed systems
  • Experience contributing to open-source projects
  • Track record of delivering high-quality production software

Highly Desirable

  • Experience with Git internals, source control systems, or repository storage technologies
  • Contributions to projects such as Git, gitoxide, JGit, Mercurial, or similar tooling
  • Knowledge of packfiles, commit graphs, refs, reftables, partial clone, or repository performance optimisation
  • Experience with storage engines, filesystems, caching layers, or large-scale infrastructure
  • Familiarity with gRPC, distributed services, authentication systems, and cloud platforms
  • Open-source maintainer experience or a strong public GitHub profile

We are especially interested in engineers who actively contribute to open-source communities and enjoy working on technically demanding problems that have a broad impact across the software engineering ecosystem.

Why Join?

  • Work on cutting-edge developer infrastructure
  • Contribute directly to widely-used open-source projects
  • Help shape the future of AI-enabled software development
  • Solve complex technical challenges at the intersection of version control, cloud infrastructure, and developer productivity
  • Collaborate with recognised experts in the open-source ecosystem

If you have a passion for Rust, developer tooling, distributed systems, and open-source software, we'd love to hear from you
