Senior Rust Engineer Outside IR35 Hybrid

Senior Rust Engineer | Outside IR35 | Hybrid   If you're a Rust Engineer who enjoys getting under the hood of complex systems and figuring out how things actually work, this could be an interesting one.
iO Associates are working with a technology business on a new contract requirement for an experienced  Rust Engineer .
This isn't a standard backend build.
You'll be working with a complex existing system that interacts directly with specialist physical hardware. A key part of the challenge will be  reverse engineering the existing system , understanding how the different components interact and helping engineer what comes next.
It's the sort of project that needs someone who enjoys investigating difficult problems rather than simply picking up predefined tickets.
What you'll be doing     Working hands-on with a complex Rust-based system
Reverse engineering and understanding existing system behaviour
Investigating how the software interacts with specialist physical hardware
Getting under the hood of an unfamiliar system and understanding how the different components work together
Diagnosing and solving complex engineering problems
Developing and improving the existing solution
Working directly with the physical equipment when required
Collaborating with the wider engineering team throughout the project
What we're looking for     Strong commercial  Rust  experience
Experience working with complex production software systems
Comfortable  reverse engineering existing systems
Strong investigative and problem-solving skills
Comfortable getting into an unfamiliar codebase and figuring out how it works
Happy working with software that interacts with physical hardware
Able to travel into  Greater Manchester  when access to the equipment is required
The contract    Outside IR35    5 days per week    Hybrid, Greater Manchester    Typically 1-2 days onsite when required, although this won't necessarily be every week
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who likes the more challenging side of software engineering and wants a Rust project with a genuine real-world element to it.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, apply or get in touch with  Michael Collins at iO Associates  for more information.
