The posting

TLDR: We're looking for a Product Engineer (Backend – Rust) to own and evolve the core systems that power AI safety at scale – building APIs that handle hundreds of millions of requests, real-time policy enforcement, and high-throughput data pipelines.

ABOUT US

White Circle https://whitecircle.ai is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

- We’ve recently raised our Series A funding round, taking our total funding to $70M. Our investors include top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others

- We process over one hundred million API calls every month

- We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model

We’re a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built – you’re the one we need.

YOU WILL

- Design and build backend services in Rust that handle real-time policy checks at scale – low latency, high reliability.

- Own features end-to-end: from API design to database schema to deployment. You ship, you monitor, you iterate.

- Work across the stack when needed – we care more about solving problems than role boundaries.

- Improve system performance and reliability – connection pooling, caching strategies, query optimization, observability.

- Collaborate directly with product, research to turn requirements into production systems.

YOU’LL FIT RIGHT IN IF YOU

- You've built and shipped backend systems in Rust, Python or Go.

- You're comfortable with async Rust (Tokio), web frameworks (Axum, Actix), and database access patterns.

- You have strong fundamentals in system design – you can reason about trade-offs, failure modes, and scaling.

- You've worked with PostgreSQL and know how to write efficient queries, design schemas, and debug performance issues.

- You communicate clearly and work well with others. Fluent English.

A big plus

- Experience with ClickHouse, Redis, or Kafka/event streaming

- Experience with LLM infra, including LLM routing, inference systems, and RAG architectures

- Background in high-throughput monitoring systems, fintech

WHY WHITE CIRCLE

- Competitive compensation package, including equity

- Flexible time off

- Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from

- Work from Paris (hybrid) + relocation package

- Best medical insurance in France

- Learning and development support for courses, conferences, and opportunities to grow your skills

- All the hardware, tools, and services you need

- Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs

- Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez

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.
