The Position
We are excited to welcome an experienced Software Engineer (Rust) to our expanding Technology Office team in Budapest.
In this mid-level position, you will contribute to the development and enhancement of high-performance Rust software that supports our products across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid deployments. You'll work with the modern Rust ecosystem and supporting tools to build reliable, safe, and efficient code as part of impactful projects. A key focus of the role is helping the Data Science team build a unified SDK that makes their AI-based features easy to integrate into Aether.
Joining a collaborative global team (with members in Vietnam, Spain, Romania, UK, US, Georgia, and Hungary), you'll work closely with senior engineers — both locally and remotely — in a supportive, international environment that values growth and innovation.
What You Will be Doing
- Work with the Engineering Manager and Hungary-based team to plan, design, implement, and maintain Rust components and applications
- Work closely with the Hungarian Data Science team, helping them build a unified SDK that wraps their AI-based models so these features can be integrated easily into Aether
- Review requirements, contribute to feature design, and implement clean, idiomatic, maintainable Rust code
- Write and maintain unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews to ensure quality and best practices
- Create and update technical documentation for your work, including rustdoc for public APIs
- Help identify opportunities for code improvements and participate in team discussions on enhancements
- Collaborate with global engineers to deliver secure, reliable, and performant software
- Support junior engineers through code reviews and pair programming, and keep growing into advanced systems topics
What We Need from You
- Good foundation in Software Engineering principles
- Good knowledge of Rust: ownership, borrowing and lifetimes, traits and generics, and idiomatic error handling with Result
- Familiarity with Cargo and the Rust toolchain (rustup, clippy, rustfmt)
- Good understanding of:
- Concurrency in Rust: threads, Send/Sync, atomics, and synchronization primitives (Mutex, RwLock, channels)
- Thread pools and producer-consumer patterns
- Common approaches to avoiding lock contention and race conditions
- Has experience with Docker/containerization
- Good knowledge of Semantic Versioning (SemVer) and dependency management with Cargo (workspaces, crates, feature flags)
- Experience or familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (TeamCity preferred)
- Solid grasp of design patterns, trait-based composition, and writing clean, readable code
- Proficiency in English
It Would be Nice if You Had
- Understanding of OS-level file and process behavior on Windows and/or Linux
- Experience designing SDKs or library APIs, or packaging ML models for inference (e.g., ONNX Runtime)
- Experience with async Rust (e.g., Tokio) or with unsafe Rust and FFI boundaries
- Hands-on experience with performance work (e.g., profiling with tools like flamegraph, benchmarking with criterion, memory allocation awareness)
- Familiarity with AWS basics (S3, API Gateway, DocumentDB) or similar cloud services
- Any background in cybersecurity (AV, EDR, sandboxing), compression, parsers, SIMD, or ML concepts
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Stable, growing international company with a strong global customer base
- Supportive, professional, and diverse team spanning multiple continents
- Real challenges and meaningful ownership on cutting-edge projects
- Modern Rust technology stack with opportunities to learn advanced systems programming
- Mentorship, career growth, and exposure to international collaboration
