About The Role

We are seeking a skilled Rust Engineer with industrial-strength software engineering skills to help us enable WebAssembly on any infrastructure compiled from any programing language.

About Us

At Wasmer, we work on the software that will power the next generation of computing platforms for local, cloud, and edge applications using WebAssembly. Similar to how Node.js enabled server-side JavaScript, we enable server-side WebAssembly for all supported languages like C/C++, Java, Go, Rust, and many others.

Our mission is to make software universally available. We are committed to the open-source community and strive to contribute to developers and companies worldwide to help make Wasmer and WebAssembly a universal standard.

• Strong abstraction, algorithmic, and software architecture skills.
• Master of Science (nice to have), Ph.D. in Computer Science (nice to have), or equivalent experience.

Why Join Us?

You want to work for a start-up focused on solving real problems with an open-source community-first approach for building a business.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options.
• Generous vacation policy.
