You will contribute to our live collaboration platform (like Figma or Google Docs).
You will work within a small multicultural team of ~120 passionate, friendly, and committed people.
You have proven experience developing software with Rust; experience in C/C++ is also very much appreciated. You have some understanding of at least one higher-level language (e.g. Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript) and are not afraid to learn more.
