[Remote] Full Stack Engineer - Rust

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Kings III Emergency Communications operates LiftNet, a platform for monitoring and managing elevators, escalators, and moving walks. The company is seeking a Full-Stack Engineer to own features across React/TypeScript, Go cloud APIs, and Rust services, with a primary focus on Rust. The role includes distributed-system development, real-time interfaces, industrial protocol integration, Linux operations, AWS infrastructure, and regression validation.

Responsibilities

• Own features end to end across the stack - front-end (React/TypeScript), cloud API (Go/LiftCloud), and Rust services - rather than working a single layer. However, this role will center around Rust
• Do deep Rust work on the VTS (Vendor Translation Services) layer and the LiftNet client/server re-architecture, where your specialization matters most
• Read and extend the Go cloud API and build the UI that consumes it correctly, keeping API contracts and data shapes coherent across the stack
• Build data-dense, real-time interfaces - dashboards, map views, status panels - that stay performant and legible for building operators and field technicians on desktop and tablet
• Design and build client/server distributed-system components aligned to the LiftNet re-architecture
• Work across the full architecture: the edge layer (Raspberry Pi, binary/serial protocols), the VTS translation layer, the Go cloud, and AWS (EC2, PostgreSQL/RDS, QuestDB)
• Operate, debug, and harden the Linux-based services that run on the edge devices and in the cloud
• Integrate and translate industrial/OT controller protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, serial)
• Build regression validation against golden/blessed datasets and packet-level (Wireshark) verification, supporting the LN2 Integrator effort
• Contribute to AWS environment setup (Dev/Staging/QA) and security-group hardening, complementing the SOC 2 readiness effort
• Partner with the principal engineer and the second full-stack engineer to split ownership across the stack and reduce day-to-day escalation drag
• Own day-to-day work across front-end, cloud, and Rust services reliably, without principal-engineer rescue
• Deliver predictable, on-time turnaround on committed customer features
• Take independent ownership of at least one vertical domain (UI through Rust service) within the first months
• Reduce key-person risk across the VTS, the Rust backend, and the front-end

Skills

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 5-7 years of Rust engineering experience with senior-level competency
• Genuine full-stack capability: production experience building front-ends in React/TypeScript and working server-side APIs (we run Go in the cloud - you must be able to read and extend it)
• Client/server distributed-system design experience aligned to the LiftNet 3 direction
• Demonstrated self-starting autonomy - able to own a domain end to end with minimal direction (non-negotiable for this role)
• Comfort across the full architecture: the edge layer (Raspberry Pi, binary/serial), the VTS layer, the Go cloud, and AWS (EC2, PostgreSQL/RDS, QuestDB)
• Deep, hands-on Linux expertise - operating, debugging, and hardening Linux systems from the command line (systems, process/network/file-system troubleshooting, bash scripting, log analysis); both the edge devices (Raspberry Pi) and the cloud services (EC2) run on Linux
• Able to build, package, and deploy services on Linux - cross-compilation for ARM/edge targets, containers, and standard build toolchains
• Pragmatic for a small, fast-moving company; automation-first, low ego; communicates bottom-line-first
• Masters Degree and other engineering credentials a plus
• Front-end depth on data-heavy, real-time UIs - mapping (Mapbox GL/Leaflet-class), live status, and performance tuning of dense views (a plus)
• Test-automation mindset - regression validation against golden datasets and packet-level (Wireshark) verification (a plus)
• Industrial/OT protocol familiarity - OPC UA, Modbus, serial integration (a plus)
• AWS infrastructure fluency - environment duplication (Dev/Staging/QA) and security-group hardening (a plus)

Benefits

• Medical insurance with 1 HSA and 2 PPO plan options
• Flex Spending Account (FSA)/Dependent Care FSA
• Dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability insurance
• Critical illness and hospital indemnity plans
• 401k with company contribution
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Company paid telemedicine 24/7 access
• Wellness Program
• Employee discount program
• 8 paid holidays, plus 1 floating holiday
• 15 days of PTO accrued in year 1
• Generous referral bonus program
• Work life balance (a must!)
• Team building, attendance at our annual kickoff each January, and other fun events
• Relaxed professional dress code
