Document core systems, share knowledge, and support client and partner discussions. Requirements 8+ years of systems engineering experience with focus on security, infra, or backend. Deep expertise in Rust, with strong low-level systems programming skills. Proven experience building distributed systems, consensus mechanisms, or networks. Hands-on experience with HSMs, MPC, TEEs, and cryptographic key management. Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases in high-availability environments. Familiarity with secure networking, applied cryptography, and defense-in-depth models. Skilled in observability, debugging, and optimizing performance at scale.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
