Software Engineer – Rust – London
I’m working with a technology-led investment firm in London that is looking for experienced Software Engineers to join a team building core engineering systems in Rust.
This is a hands-on role focused on performance, scale, and reliability. You’ll be working on systems where concurrency, latency, and efficiency genuinely matter, with plenty of ownership from design through to production.
What you’ll be working on:
- Building high-performance distributed systems in Rust
- Developing core infrastructure used by engineering teams across the business
- Solving problems around concurrency, multithreading, scalability, and performance
- Designing new services and taking ownership through to production
- Improving the reliability and efficiency of existing systems
- Working in Linux environments and getting into how the software behaves under real production load
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.
What makes the opportunity interesting:
- You’ll be working on technically difficult systems where performance and scale are core to the job
- There’s real ownership, rather than just picking up small pieces of a much larger platform
- You’ll be working with Rust commercially and using it on genuinely important production systems
- Strong backgrounds in distributed systems, systems engineering, concurrency, or performance-focused software would all be relevant
- It gives you the chance to stay close to the code while working on complex engineering problems with strong engineers around you
- Good algorithms, data structures, and low-level problem solving will actually matter here rather than just being interview theory

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This would suit someone who enjoys building fast, reliable systems and wants to work somewhere the engineering problems are genuinely difficult.
