Principal Software Engineer (Rust) / Hands-on Tech Lead
About the Role
We are an early-stage startup looking for a Rust specialist to join us as a Tech Lead Engineer. We are bootstrapped and operate lean. We cannot match big-tech salaries at this stage. Instead, we offer meaningful equity ownership and the opportunity to build the core platform from the ground up. This role is for someone who wants to trade short-term salary for long-term upside, real technical ownership, and a key role in shaping the company. This represents a significant ownership stake. You will own the technical roadmap of the company. We are building a high-performance backend, and Rust is our core technology. Responsibilities: - Build: Design and implement the core system in Rust. - Manage: Deploy, operate, and maintain infrastructure, including Linux, cloud services, and CI/CD. - Scale: Make key decisions on database design, system performance, and security. To apply, send your GitHub and a short introduction to hiring@canarie.tech or send a direct message.
Requirements
- Strong in Rust and understand concepts such as ownership, borrowing, and async programming.
- Comfortable working on servers, using Linux, configuring Kubernetes or cloud-based deployments, and debugging production issues.
- You have a founder mindset. You take responsibility, move fast, and care about the product, not just the code.
Benefits
- Base Salary: 35,000 THB per month
- High Equity Opportunity / Significant ownership stake
- Real technical ownership: Own the technical roadmap
- Impact: Your technical decisions directly shape the future of the company
- Build the core system from the ground up
