About The Position

Gramian Consultancy is seeking an experienced Rust Backend Architect for an AI training project focused on production-grade Rust development, backend architecture, and complex systems engineering. The role involves solving and validating technical problems involving APIs, persistence, asynchronous processing, concurrency, performance, and service reliability. The architect will build reproducible implementation and testing environments, assess architectural decisions, and ensure backend solutions meet production-quality standards. The role is remote worldwide and is intended for a senior- or architect-level engineer. Strong written and verbal English is required. Immediate availability is preferred, with the ability to begin within 24–48 hours after onboarding. The expected contribution is approximately 15 hours per week, with weekly submission and minimum task requirements.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on proficiency in Rust, demonstrated through substantial professional, research, or open-source software development.
• Strong understanding of backend service design, APIs, data persistence, and production software architecture.
• Practical knowledge of asynchronous programming, concurrency, error handling, and performance optimization in Rust.
• Experience analyzing and resolving complex backend correctness, scalability, reliability, or performance problems.
• Ability to translate technical requirements into working implementations, reproducible tests, and verifiable outcomes.
• Experience with Rust workspaces, dependency management, test environments, and backend development tooling.
• Strong debugging, analytical reasoning, and technical problem-solving skills.
• Clear written communication and ability to explain architectural decisions and technical findings.
• Strong written and verbal English.
• Availability to contribute approximately 15 hours per week and meet minimum weekly task requirements.
• Ability to begin work within 24–48 hours after completing onboarding.
