Full Stack Engineer - Rust

Who You Are

You’re a senior full-stack engineer who specializes deeply in Rust and takes ambiguous problems and drives them to completion with minimal oversight. You build across the whole stack – the React/Type Script front‑end that operators and technicians use, the Go cloud API (Lift Cloud) that serves it, and the Rust services at the core of the platform: the VTS (Vendor Translation Services) layer and the Lift Net client/server re‑architecture.

Rust is your center of gravity – the hardest, highest‑value work lives there. You’ll own features vertically rather than by layer, split day‑to‑day ownership with the principal engineer and a second full‑stack engineer to remove key‑person bottlenecks, and contribute directly to Lift Net’s strategic roadmap – the evolving Lift Net architecture, predictive analytics, and the LN2 Integrator automated‑QA effort. If Ownership, Minimal oversight, Small team, Rust, & Remote resonate you, this is your dream role.

Full‑time

Operating for over 30 years, Lift Net is a pioneer and leader in vertical transportation performance monitoring and management. We are the unbiased Source of Truth in vertical transportation management. Our platform connects, controls, and monitors elevators, escalators, and moving walks for building operators across enterprise, transit, healthcare, and government environments. Accessible from any device, our customers can access real‑time analytics and reporting on their vertical transportation portfolio, regardless of geographic location or distribution.

We are scaling the platform, the team, and the enterprise customer base as an independent division within Kings III of America. Real‑World Experience. Futureproof Innovation.

• Own features end to end across the stack - front‑end (React/Type Script), cloud API (Go/Lift Cloud), and Rust services - rather than working a single layer. However, this role will center around Rust.
• Do deep Rust work on the VTS (Vendor Translation Services) layer and the Lift Net client/server re‑architecture, where your specialization matters most.
• Read and extend the Go cloud API and build the UI that consumes it correctly, keeping API contracts and data shapes coherent across the stack.
• Build data‑dense, real‑time interfaces - dashboards, map views, status panels - that stay performant and legible for building operators and field technicians on desktop and tablet.
• Design and build client/server distributed‑system components aligned to the Lift Net re‑architecture.
• Work across the full architecture: the edge layer (Raspberry Pi, binary/serial protocols), the VTS translation layer, the Go cloud, and AWS (EC2, PostgreSQL/RDS, QuestDB).
• Operate, debug, and harden the Linux‑based services that run on the edge devices and in the cloud.
• Integrate and translate industrial/OT controller protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, serial).
• Build regression validation against golden/blessed datasets and packet‑level (Wireshark) verification, supporting the LN2 Integrator effort.
• Contribute to AWS environment setup (Dev/Staging/QA) and security‑group hardening, complementing the SOC 2 readiness effort.
• Partner with the principal engineer and the second full‑stack engineer to split ownership across the stack and reduce day‑to‑day escalation drag.
• Own day‑to‑day work across front‑end, cloud, and Rust services reliably, without principal‑engineer rescue.
• Deliver predictable, on‑time turnaround on committed customer features.
• Take independent ownership of at least one vertical domain (UI through Rust service) within the first months.
• Reduce key‑person risk across the VTS, the Rust backend, and the front‑end.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience;
  Masters Degree and other engineering credentials a plus.
• 5‑7 years of Rust engineering experience with senior‑level competency.
• Genuine full‑stack capability: production experience building front‑ends in React/Type Script and working server‑side APIs (we run Go in the cloud - you must be able to read and extend it).
• Client/server distributed‑system design experience aligned to the Lift Net 3 direction.
• Demonstrated self‑starting…
