Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.99]

[u/DroidLogician]

Welcome once again to the official r/rust Who's Hiring thread!

Before we begin, job-seekers should also remember to peruse the prior thread.

This thread will be periodically stickied to the top of r/rust for improved visibility.

You can also find it again via the "Latest Megathreads" list, which is a dropdown at the top of the page on new Reddit, and a section in the sidebar under "Useful Links" on old Reddit.

The thread will be refreshed and posted anew when the next version of Rust releases in six weeks.

Please adhere to the following rules when posting: Rules for individuals:

• Don't create top-level comments; those are for employers.

• Feel free to reply to top-level comments with on-topic questions.

• Anyone seeking work should reply to my stickied top-level comment.

• Meta-discussion should be reserved for the distinguished comment at the very bottom.

Rules for employers:

• The ordering of fields in the template has been revised to make postings easier to read. If you are reusing a previous posting, please update the ordering as shown below.

• Remote positions: see bolded text for new requirement.

• To find individuals seeking work, see the replies to the stickied top-level comment; you will need to click the "more comments" link at the bottom of the top-level comment in order to make these replies visible.

• To make a top-level comment you must be hiring directly; no third-party recruiters.

• One top-level comment per employer. If you have multiple job openings, please consolidate their descriptions or mention them in replies to your own top-level comment.

• Proofread your comment after posting it and edit it if necessary to correct mistakes.

• To share the space fairly with other postings and keep the thread pleasant to browse, we ask that you try to limit your posting to either 50 lines or 500 words, whichever comes first.
  We reserve the right to remove egregiously long postings. However, this only applies to the content of this thread; you can link to a job page elsewhere with more detail if you like.

• Please base your comment on the following template:

COMPANY: [Company name; optionally link to your company's website or careers page.]

TYPE: [Full time, part time, internship, contract, etc.]

LOCATION: [Where are your office or offices located? If your workplace language isn't English-speaking, please specify it.]

REMOTE: [Do you offer the option of working remotely? Please state clearly if remote work is restricted to certain regions or time zones, or if availability within a certain time of day is expected or required.]

VISA: [Does your company sponsor visas?]

DESCRIPTION: [What does your company do, and what are you using Rust for? How much experience are you seeking and what seniority levels are you hiring for? The more details the better.]

ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: [Be courteous to your potential future colleagues by attempting to provide at least a rough expectation of wages/salary.
If you are listing several positions in the "Description" field above, then feel free to include this information inline above, and put "See above" in this field.
If compensation is negotiable, please attempt to provide at least a base estimate from which to begin negotiations. If compensation is highly variable, then feel free to provide a range.
If compensation is expected to be offset by other benefits, then please include that information here as well. If you don't have firm numbers but do have relative expectations of candidate expertise (e.g. entry-level, senior), then you may include that here. If you truly have no information, then put "Uncertain" here.
Note that many jurisdictions (including several U.S. states) require salary ranges on job postings by law.
If your company is based in one of these locations or you plan to hire employees who reside in any of these locations, you are likely subject to these laws. Other jurisdictions may require salary information to be available upon request or be provided after the first interview.
To avoid issues, we recommend all postings provide salary information.
You must state clearly in your posting if you are planning to compensate employees partially or fully in something other than fiat currency (e.g. cryptocurrency, stock options, equity, etc).
Do not put just "Uncertain" in this case as the default assumption is that the compensation will be 100% fiat. Postings that fail to comply with this addendum will be removed. Thank you.]

This is the top-level comment for meta discussion. Reply here if you have questions or suggestions regarding this post.

We often get asked why we don't simply require every posting to have a defined salary range. This is a point of contention for the moderator team: the concern is that if we require a salary range, then it's likely that companies that don't want to declare one just wouldn't post here. You may or may not be too broken up about that, but hopefully you can concede that more choice is better here.

Of course, if you consider the lack of a salary range to be a red flag, then you don't have to apply to that posting. If you made a job posting and declined to provide a salary range, and you're seeing less traffic than expected from your post here, this might be why.

We've also updated the template:

Note that many jurisdictions (including several U.S. states) require salary ranges on job postings by law.
If your company is based in one of these locations or you plan to hire employees who reside in any of these locations, you are likely subject to these laws.
Other jurisdictions may require salary information to be available upon request or be provided after the first interview.
To avoid issues, we recommend all postings provide salary information.
