About the role

Work on actually hard problems with massive ownership and huge reach.

Dioxus is looking to hire its first fulltime in-person Rust engineer
in San Francisco.

We're looking for a "cracked" Rust engineer who's not intimidated by
complex systems and unfamiliar domains. You're the perfect candidate
if you feel comfortable writing web services, diving into linkers,
coding microcontrollers, exploring AI, and staring at the W3
specifications for hours on end.

Our current team is made up of similarly cracked engineers: our side
projects include AI Metaframeworks, plasma physics simulations,
from-scratch RC airplanes, and homebuilt web browsers(!!).

Our office is literally my old apartment - it's cozy, sunny, in a
safe area, and you get to sit next to me while we bang out the next
year of features. You'd be the first fulltime in-person employee, so
the experience will be much closer to a founding engineer than a
corporate drone.

Our current projects include binary patching Rust, a linker-based
asset system, a deploy platform, server-side HTML streaming,
local-first AI finetuning, a TUI devtool, and rendering Firefox's CSS
engine with WGPU.

Ideally you have a good sense of API design and an eye for polish.
Our CLI is literally called dx - developers are at the core of our
design! Our docs are generated by proc macros!

This is an in-person role - you're free to work on a beach for a week
(team offsite?!) but the typical week will involve a healthy dose of
startup grind. Please, keep your weekends full of fun.

About the interview

  * You've built something you're proud of. Explain it to me! Talk
    about the problems you solved, the things you didn't know, what
    you'd add, and more.
  * Show me your favorite framework's API and why you think it's
    great. How would you improve it? How would it compose?
  * Talk about yourself.
  * A takehome.
  * Technical interviews with founder friends.
  * Work trial (1-3 months) - this is a founding engineer role!
