Job Description

Rust Backend Development Engineers (Core API, Database, and Security)

Are you ready to shape the foundation of a global platform that connects millions of football fans worldwide? Join OleOle, the ultimate decentralized football platform, as we build cutting-edge backend systems that deliver high-performance services, secure authentication, and seamless data management.

We are seeking 4 talented Backend Development Engineers to join our team across three critical areas: Core API & Services, Database & Infrastructure, and Authentication & Security. If you're an expert in Rust and backend architecture, we'd love to have you onboard.

1. Core API & Services Engineers with Rust experience

As a Core API Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and optimizing the platform’s backend services, focusing on high-performance APIs and distributed systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain production-level Rust code for high-performance services.
• Build efficient, low-latency APIs using Rust frameworks like Actix, Rocket, or Tide.
• Design scalable and maintainable RESTful APIs (knowledge of GraphQL is a plus).
• Optimize API performance using techniques like caching, load balancing, and request throttling.
• Develop microservices for distributed systems, integrating tools like gRPC, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.
• Implement secure authentication mechanisms (e.g., OAuth, JWT) and enforce API security best practices.

2. Database & Infrastructure Engineer

As a Database Engineer, you will ensure the scalability, integrity, and optimization of our database systems, supporting seamless data handling across the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra).
• Scale databases horizontally and vertically, including partitioning, replication, and sharding.
• Implement caching solutions using tools like Redis or Memcached to enhance performance.
• Ensure data integrity, implement robust backup strategies, and prepare for disaster recovery.
• Manage cloud-native database solutions such as AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL, ensuring scalability and availability.

3. Authentication & Security Engineer

As a Security Engineer, you will design and implement secure authentication protocols, encryption practices, and identity management systems to safeguard our platform and user data.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement authentication protocols like OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and secure login mechanisms with JWT.
• Secure sensitive data using encryption techniques and ensure safe storage of credentials, tokens, and API keys.
• Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF using secure coding practices.
• Design role-based access control (RBAC) systems and manage permission layers for user access.
• Conduct regular security audits and apply patches to address vulnerabilities.

Qualifications:

General Requirements for All Roles

• 6-8 years of experience in backend development.
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Role-Specific Qualifications

Core API & Services Engineers

• Rust Expertise: Deep understanding of Rust’s ecosystem, concurrency, and memory management.
• Proficiency with Rust-based frameworks like Actix, Rocket, or Tide.
• Experience with distributed systems and microservice architecture.

Database & Infrastructure Engineer

• Strong skills in database design, optimization, and scaling for both relational and NoSQL systems.
• Proficiency with tools like Redis, Memcached, and cloud database solutions (e.g., AWS RDS, GCP Cloud SQL).

Authentication & Security Engineer

• Expertise in implementing OAuth2, JWT, and secure login mechanisms.
• Strong knowledge of encryption techniques, secure data storage, and vulnerability mitigation.
• Experience designing role-based access control (RBAC) systems.

What We Offer

• Exciting Projects: Work on a platform connecting millions of football fans worldwide.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Use Rust, modern web frameworks, and advanced security protocols.
• Collaborative Culture: Be part of a dynamic, passionate, and innovative team.
