Senior Platform Engineer - Rust

Five or more years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent depth of experience building production systems.

Strong expertise in Rust, including ownership, lifetimes, traits, generics, error handling, and performance analysis.

Production experience with asynchronous Rust, concurrency, cancellation, resource management, and backpressure.

Experience designing and operating backend services, HTTP APIs, streaming systems, webhooks, or background processing systems.

Strong understanding of relational databases, including schema design, migrations, transactions, query performance, and connection management.

Experience building modular systems with well-defined interfaces, reusable components, and comprehensive tests.

Practical experience with containers, continuous integration, cloud deployments, and secrets management.

A strong understanding of production reliability, observability, failure recovery, and debugging.

Comfort working across backend services, infrastructure, and TypeScript applications when necessary.

Strong technical judgment and the ability to improve complex systems incrementally without disrupting production.

Clear written and verbal communication, particularly when documenting architectural decisions and operational procedures.

Experience in any of the following areas is helpful, but not required:

Distributed event processing or streaming platforms.

PostgreSQL at scale, including tenant isolation and performance optimization.

OpenTelemetry, Sentry, distributed tracing, or production metrics infrastructure.

Authentication, billing, or integration heavy SaaS platforms.

Property-based testing, benchmarking, and performance-sensitive Rust.

Analytical data systems, columnar storage, graph databases, or event stores.

Apache Arrow, Parquet, DataFusion, or similar analytical technologies.

Isolated container, sandbox, or workload execution platforms.

Infrastructure for AI agents, model evaluation, or tool execution.

Rust SDK development, WebAssembly, or Python bindings.

Platforms such as Fly.io , Vercel, Doppler, GitHub Actions, or comparable alternatives.

During your first several months, you will likely focus on:

Making development, testing, and ephemeral environments easier to create and operate.

Expanding automated coverage across databases, APIs, integration flows, and isolated runtimes.

Improving deployment safety, configuration management, and operational documentation.

Strengthening observability and preparing event-processing systems for increased scale.

Helping define and operationalize the platform's long-term data and storage architecture.

A successful engineer in this role will make Chronicle's platform easier to understand, safer to change, and more reliable to operate.

You will help the team move faster without sacrificing correctness, while establishing the technical foundations needed to support increasingly complex workloads and larger customers.
