Strong Rust knowledge, backend service design, APIs, data systems, concurrency, and production architecture are preferred. Relevant experience includes technical analysis of correctness, performance, scalability, and reliability, plus substantial professional, research, or open-source Rust work.

Clear ownership of Rust architecture is also valued.
