We are partnering with a market-leading specialist engineering firm providing mission-critical technology for the global transport and infrastructure sectors. You will join our close-knit, highly collaborative R&D team of 8 engineering professionals in a pure systems-level engineering role focused entirely on performance‑critical software for embedded devices, not servers. We offer an autonomous environment where you can solve complex technical challenges using Rust memory safety and concurrency features.

We are looking to move quickly on this role, and sponsorship is not an option.
