Develop cross-platform libraries and applications for public sector customers using Rust and other technologies. Lead teams in secure coding and client engagement.
At SpruceID, we are reimagining trusted interactions by creating the world’s best software for packaging beliefs digitally. We are a team of programmers working to develop world-class open source products and libraries implementing open global standards in identity.
There are no well-worn paths or theoreticals here. Every SpruceID technical staffer gets their hands dirty writing code, learning new technologies, and solving problems at the bleeding edge of our space. We hire results-oriented developers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation.
You will be responsible for developing cross-platform libraries, server software, full-stack applications, and infrastructure using many technologies including Rust. You will work directly with public sector and enterprise customers and lead team members on design and execution. You will coordinate with other leaders at the company including Delivery, Product, and GTM.
Our software is secure by design, professionally audited, and suitable for high stakes applications. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to emerging global technology standards for digital identity. While we don't require you to have Rust experience to apply for this job, you should demonstrate a strong aptitude for statically typed languages, memory management, and secure programming practices.
For this role, you must be based in the US.
