Cloud & Backend Infrastructure Engineering
Design and implement scalable, low-latency backend systems for AWS, Azure, Cloudflare and private clouds. We build microservices, service meshes, and streaming pipelines in Rust to improve throughput and safety, reduce runtime errors, and optimize resource usage for companies focused on performance and reliability.
Blockchain, Web3 & Cryptocurrencies
Develop secure, high-performance blockchain nodes, smart contract tooling, and exchange backends. Rust talent excels at building consensus clients, cryptographic libraries, and transaction processors used in Web3, DeFi, and crypto exchanges, helping firms like Serokell and Web3 startups prioritize safety and throughput.
