About Flamingo

Flamingo is revolutionizing the Managed Service Provider (MSP) industry with an AI-driven, open-source platform for IT and security. Our goal is to empower MSPs with automation, optimization, and scalability tools to enhance their operations.

We are now expanding our system layer, developing cross-platform agents and background services written in Rust, designed to operate on Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. These agents form the backbone of our telemetry and device management capabilities across thousands of managed endpoints.
 

Role Overview:
 As a Client Engineer, you'll build reliable, high-performance system services and daemons that power Flamingo's open-source infrastructure for MSPs. You will work closely with backend engineers to design, implement, and optimize cross-platform components responsible for device management, monitoring, and secure data exchange.
 

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop cross-platform agents, daemons, and background services in Rust for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Work with low-level system APIs and platform-specific tools: Win32 API, LaunchAgents/Daemons, systemd, and more
• Integrate services with backend infrastructure via HTTP, WebSockets, and NATS
• Write secure, asynchronous, and performant Rust code using Tokio, Serde, and Tracing
• Optimize real-time data processing, message handling, and network performance
• Collaborate with backend and platform teams to ensure reliability, observability, and security across deployments
• Contribute to our open-source projects by writing clean, documented, and community-friendly code

Our Stack:

• Language: Rust (1.8x+)
• Core Libraries: tokio, serde, anyhow, tracing, thiserror
• Networking: reqwest / hyper (HTTP), tokio-tungstenite / warp (WebSockets), nats.rs (NATS)
• Platform APIs:
  • Windows – Win32, COM, Registry
  • macOS – LaunchAgents, Daemons, Keychain
  • Linux – systemd, journal, epoll, nix crate
• Tooling: Git, GitHub, cross-platform builds

Must-Have:

• Strong proficiency in Rust, including async programming and ownership concepts
• Experience developing system-level software for at least one major OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
• Familiarity with platform APIs (e.g., Win32 API, systemd, macOS Daemons)
• Solid understanding of networking (TCP/UDP, WebSockets, HTTP)
• Experience with multi-threaded and asynchronous programming
• Attention to security, performance, and code maintainability

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with NATS, message brokers, or real-time telemetry systems
• Experience building cross-platform agents or monitoring tools
• Contributions to open-source projects (especially in Rust)

The company building the world's fastest onchain DEX.

They're a decentralized perpetuals exchange building the first "based rollup" DEX on Ethereum — bringing TradFi-level speed to onchain trading while keeping full self-custody. Think millisecond execution, backed by Ethereum's security, at a scale most DeFi projects can't touch.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems. Your role goes beyond writing code-you'll architect systems that are resilient, secure, and optimized for low-latency, real-time processing.

The ideal candidate is someone who loves DeFi, web3, engineering, security, rigor and speed. If you're a highly skilled Senior Backend engineer with over eight years of experience with a commitment to code quality and state-of-the-art software testing practices, we want to hear from you.

Requirements: 

• 8+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer with experience working in the financial services industry
• 6+ years of experience with Rust or C++ building highly scalable web services
• 6+ years of experience designing and maintaining relational databases like PostgreSQL
• 4+ years of experience with messaging and low-latency persistence like Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ, or others
• Has strong trading systems/hft infra experience

Compensation: $120K–$200K
