Rerun is seeking a Software Engineer (Rust) for their backend team to help build a multimodal data stack for physical AI.
The role involves working on a cloud-native analytical database system designed for multimodal data, particularly time-series data.
The system is developed in Rust and utilizes Apache Arrow, supporting specialized queries for robotics-style multimodal logs and domain-specific operators.
The engineer will be responsible for designing, implementing, and operating core components to ensure the system is highly scalable, reliable, and observable.
The company operates remotely, with team members located in European and US-east timezones, and meets in person roughly once a quarter.

Candidates must have experience with async Rust in production environments.
A deep understanding of the systems, layers, and abstractions between code and hardware is required, along with a willingness to navigate across them.
Experience in building highly scalable, data-intensive systems is essential.
Candidates should be comfortable with concepts such as query planning, push-down filtering, and query optimization.
Experience in deploying and operating complex systems in cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) is necessary.
Great communication skills in English are required, as the role involves working in a tight-knit remote team.
A helpful attitude, a curious mind, and an ownership mindset are important traits for candidates.

Rerun offers competitive cash and equity compensation.
Employees receive six weeks of paid vacation.
The company provides necessary hardware and software to perform the job effectively.
Team members are part of an exceptionally talented tech team that values agency and helpfulness, with an expectation of broad responsibility for their work.
