Same here, with my current project! Building out many of our backend systems in Rust. Have had great success so far. Best of luck with your hiring efforts!

Is there a specific role or domain you're targeting for this Rust developer? Having trouble figuring out where to emphasize my experience in applications.

We're primarily looking for someone who can help scale our real-time analytics engine, though we've been finding Rust to be flexible for many areas of our stack.

Rust is definitely a game changer for performance-sensitive systems. One concern, though: have you thought about teaching Rust to existing devs on your team if they're already skilled?

Great point, and we've already started some internal Rust trainings. With that said, we also recognize the value of including someone with extensive Rust expertise on the team.

I'd love to bring my Rust experience at Foo Inc. to your team, especially around integrating it with other parts of your tech stack. Would love to chat!

Looking to hire Rust devs as well. My current team of 3 has been struggling to keep up with our workload. Any suggestions for finding strong Rust candidates out there?

@zerotheFirst, we've had great luck finding Rust developers on the YC network, the Rust Discord, and even on Twitter. Don't underestimate those last two!

My team's done really well on Hired to find Rust developers, and we've even attended some remote Rust conferences and external training lately to attract promising candidates.

:heart: Rust. I've only dabbled up until now, but would love to help your company out with a full-time Rust role. I'm on your website pronto, applying!

A little surprised this is part of YC - how have you vetted these Rust developers? Worried about user attrition and lost revenue if devs are subpar.
johnrodo 1 year ago next
All the developers have gone through a thorough vetting process on our platform, which includes multiple Rust take-home assignments, technical interviews, and evaluations by senior Rust developers. No worries there.

All YC companies go through lengthy reviews, and our internal team diligently checks on every hire. These aren't just textbook devs, they're rockstar problem solvers and team players tailored for the modern-day workplace.
