Rust Engineer
Fully Remote
£80,000 - £90,000
A Rust Engineer is required to join an AI security start-up company building cutting-edge technology focused on securing autonomous AI agents and agentic systems. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside highly respected engineers in the open-source and security space, helping shape the future of AI runtime security.
You’ll join a small, high-trust engineering team working on an open-source security runtime and related enterprise security tooling used to govern how AI agents execute code, interact with APIs, and operate safely at scale.
As a Rust Engineer, you’ll contribute directly to the core runtime, SDKs, and supporting infrastructure, taking ownership of meaningful engineering work from day one. You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers across systems design, security, observability, infrastructure, and developer experience while contributing publicly to open-source projects and communities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Involvement and contributions to open-source projects or ownership of public technical work
- Interest in systems programming, security, infrastructure, or developer tooling
- Strong understanding of clean code, testing, debugging, and performance considerations
- Curiosity around AI systems, adversarial thinking, and secure software design
- Background in application security, systems security, supply chain security, or offensive security, highly desirable
- Experience working with CI/CD, observability, release tooling, or cloud infrastructure would be great
- Experience using AI-assisted development tooling responsibly within engineering workflows
- Ability to work independently within a fast-moving engineering environment
- Excellent written communication skills for documentation, design discussions, and code reviews
