Inside the Stack (Serde / egui / rustls)
Brave Software runs Rust where garbage pauses and unpredictable memory growth are unacceptable. Brave embeds Rust crates directly into the Chromium C++ browser binary via `cxx` bridges. Every network request passes through `adblock-rust` in microseconds with zero heap fragmentation.
Core Challenges on Your Plate
- Optimize URL filter-list trie matching, maintain safe C++/Rust `cxx` FFI bindings inside Chromium, and audit client-side memory consumption.
- Scale internal components leveraging Serde, egui, rustls, Tokio, no_std while keeping binary compile times and memory RSS tight.
- Instrument p99.9 latency metrics and lead root-cause incident analyses across distributed clusters.
Requirements & Verified Salary Band
- Deep familiarity with idiomatic Rust, async execution models, and systems debugging tools (`gdb`, `perf`, `ebpf`).
- Prior ownership of production storage engines, compilers, network proxies, or cryptographic runtimes.
- Base salary: $175,000 to $230,000 USD + equity. Location: Worldwide Remote.
