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 Rust Developer, 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

Qualifications:

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).
• Experience with C/C++ development.

Why Join Flamingo?

• High-impact role: Build the foundational layer of Flamingo’s open-source infrastructure.
• Ownership & Equity: Competitive salary plus meaningful stock options in an early-stage startup.

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.

Role Overview
This role is focused on building a saas product, with additional support for local installations. You will take ownership of designing and implementing the cloud infrastructure in the early stages of deployment, setting the foundation for how the platform will operate. The product is fully Kubernetes-based, so strong expertise in cluster management, automation, and container orchestration is essential. Because the system is high-load, ensuring reliability is the top priority. In addition, a significant part of the role involves contributing to an open-source product, developing features that benefit both the community and the platform itself.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain cloud infrastructure in GCP or AWS, covering compute, storage, networking (VPCs, subnets, routing), IAM, and managed databases, using Terraform.
• Operate and manage Kubernetes clusters, including cluster administration, workload orchestration, ingress/gateway configuration, and developing custom Helm Charts.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, following GitOps practices for consistent deployments.
• Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing with Prometheus, Loki and Grafana, ensuring system observability and reliable incident response.
• Design and secure cloud networking, including VPC architectures, load balancers, service meshes, and Bastion host access, while applying strong security practices.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to refine deployment strategies, improve reliability, and support smooth delivery of new features.

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Kubernetes – strong expertise in cluster administration, workload orchestration, and GitOps practices; ability to write and maintain custom Helm Charts.
• Terraform – proven experience managing infrastructure as code and operating environments on GCP.
• Cloud platforms – solid knowledge of GCP or AWS core services, including compute, storage, and managed databases.
• Cloud networking – experience with VPCs, subnets, routing, firewalls, and load balancers, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity.
• Infrastructure security – practical experience with IAM, secrets management, TLS, encryption, and policy enforcement in production environments.
• CI/CD workflows – experience building and maintaining pipelines with GitHub Actions/GitLab CI and ArgoCD/FluxCD.
• Databases and messaging – operational knowledge of Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, and streaming platforms such as Kafka.
• Observability – hands-on use of Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and similar tools for monitoring, alerting, and tracing.
   

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with serverless architectures and event-driven systems, such as AWS Lambda, Cloud Functions, or Pub/Sub triggers.
• Experience contributing to or maintaining open-source products.
• Relevant certifications would be a plus
