The C++ Alliance, Inc.; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

The C++ Alliance, Inc. is seeking a strong Rust Developer to design, build, and maintain tooling, services, and infrastructure behind our engineering work.

This role is ideal for a systems-minded generalist who ships clean, reliable software and works well in a distributed team. You'll own features end to end—from design through testing and deployment—while contributing to CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling in a remote setting.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production systems, with significant Rust experience (professional or substantial open-source).
