We are currently in the middle of a significant, twenty-year inflection point within the technology industry. The era of overvalued unicorns, inefficient FAANG-like software companies, over-hyped and over-funded AI firms, and unimaginative consultancies is upon us.

For several years, Zectonal has strategically positioned itself for this moment in history. Our time is now. Is this your time to… escape the herd to do something different and take a risk with making history?

We recognize Rust is a relatively new programming language, so we are seeking out individuals who have just as much passion about Rust as us,and are willing to learn to become experts over time.

As a Rust developer at Zectonal, you will be responsible for the following high-level activities:

· Make frequent common-sense decisions that are required to be pragmatic and aligned to the interests of the company specifically to the development of our products

· Communicate frequently and accurately decisions and tradeoffs made during development of our products

· Collaborate daily on the tracking of bi-weekly development milestones, issue tracking and resolution, and product architecture

· Participate in the development, tracking, and execution of business Objective & Key Results (“OKR’s”)

· Ensuring you enjoy what you do

Zectonal is still an early-stage startup where all employees of the firm are expected to participate in core technology related activities.
