We are hiring an NXLog Agent Lead Developer (Rust/C & AI Orchestration)!
In this role, you will act as the technical authority and quality gate for one of the most critical components of the NXLog Platform. You will lead a dedicated, cross-functional team of senior engineers, QA automation specialists, and DevOps engineers, ensuring that everything we build is safe, performant, and production-ready.
You will combine deep systems engineering expertise with a modern, AI-augmented development approach, guiding your team in refactoring legacy C components into idiomatic Rust while establishing clear standards for working with AI-generated code.
Beyond hands-on architecture and development, you will play a key role in technical leadership, planning, and team enablement—driving efficient delivery, reducing defects, and setting a high bar for engineering quality across the Agent team.
Due to project requirements, we are actively hiring engineers located within European time zones (UTC−01:00 to UTC+05:00), to ensure strong collaboration within our distributed, remote-first team.
What you’ll do:
Act as the technical authority for the NXLog Agent, a mission-critical component of our platform
Lead the modernization of legacy C codebases into idiomatic Rust, ensuring safety and performance
Serve as the Quality Gate - perform deep code reviews across human and AI-generated code
Define and implement AI-assisted development workflows, including validation and verification standards
Drive architectural decisions and represent the Agent team in technical roadmap and architecture discussions
Lead a cross-functional squad (C/Rust engineers, QA, DevOps) toward consistent, high-quality delivery
Collaborate with DevOps to optimize CI/CD pipelines across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Mentor engineers and shape hiring processes, including AI-assisted technical evaluations
What you'll bring:
7+ years of experience in systems programming (C/C++), including memory management and cross-platform development
Strong, production-level experience with Rust, especially in concurrent and high-performance systems
Deep understanding of low-level systems concepts: concurrency, networking, IPC
Hands-on experience integrating AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, agentic IDEs) into development workflows
Strong knowledge of CI/CD systems and cross-platform build environments
Experience with Linux, macOS, and Windows; AIX/Solaris or other Unix systems is of added value
Exposure to modern data systems and cloud environments (AWS/Azure)
Proven track record of owning code quality and release stability in critical systems
Experience working in distributed teams with clear communication and technical leadership
What you’ll get:
Remote community of passionate experts from around the world
A highly technical leadership role with real ownership over a core product
Opportunity to shape how AI is used in modern systems engineering workflows
A senior, collaborative engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy
Competitive compensation and long-term career growth
Work on software deployed in security-critical, real-world environments
PTO & other benefits
Opportunity to work with a state-of-the-art log management product
