Who is Recruiting from Scratch :

Recruiting from Scratch is a talent firm that focuses on placing the best candidate for our clients. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across North America, South America, and Europe to help them hire.

https : / / www.recruitingfromscratch.com /

Salary Range : $180,000-$250,000 plus 0% - 1% equity.

Our client is looking for a Founding Member of Technical Staff with a background in systems engineering (esp. Rust).

Why not "engineer"? Our client is not going to make a distinction between engineers and researchers to encourage people to have cross-functional scope and impact. The CTO has a PhD in reinforcement learning but also writes infrastructure code in Rust.

Our clients' model gateway, written in Rust, is the backbone of the project. As a preview, if you joined today, you'd work on features ranging from inference-time optimizations (e.g. dynamic in-context learning) to advanced experimentation ("built-in Statsig"). You can learn more about our clients' technical roadmap and vision here.

Role responsibilities :

  • Build infrastructure for inference, observability, optimization, and experimentation

Candidate requirements :

  • Able to work in-person with the team 5 days / week in NYC.
  • 0 years of experience Rust or ClickHouse experience. Broadly looking for senior / staff SWE but open to exceptional junior candidates (even top 1% fresh grads).
  • Experience tackling hard technical problems, comfortable driving large projects from 0-1.
  • Strong backend experience, especially with Rust.
  • Nice-to-haves :

  • CS degree from a top university (Stanford, MIT, Ivies, CMU, etc.)
  • Experience working in a high-growth startup.
  • Salary : $180,000 - $250,000
