Job description

# Rust EngineerRoder AI · Finland · Senior · OnsiteView & Apply## About Roder AIRoder is an AI security and governance platform: a high-performance Layer 7 gateway that sits between organizations and every AI model and agent they use. Real-time threat detection, prompt injection prevention, identity and access control, data sovereignty enforcement, full audit trails. The security layer enterprises need before they can trust AI at scale.The entire backend is Rust. Not a rewrite project, not an experiment. It's what runs in production for regulated European customers today, and it's what you'll own.## The Role in a Nutshell* **Permanent position**, starting as soon as we find the right person* **Remote-first**, work from anywhere in Finland or Sweden. We meet in person occasionally, not constantly. When we do, we expect you there.* **Lead-level ownership.** You'll shape the Rust architecture, set the standard for the codebase, and mentor engineers who join after you. If you want the lead title and the responsibility that comes with it, it's here. If you'd rather be a deep senior IC without the title, that works too.* **Salary**, competitive and based on experience. We won't win on pure salary against the big consulting factories, but we offer something they never will: a genuine stake in what we're building.* **Equity.** Every employee joins our stock option program after settling into their role. We have massive ambitions, and this is a rare chance to become a true part of Roder and share in what we build.## Key Responsibilities:* Owning and evolving our **Rust backend**: a cargo workspace powering a high-throughput, low-latency AI security gateway in production
