The Senior Software Engineer, Distributed Systems (Rust) joins the Data Distribution team to build and operate the Distributed Service Bus. This role involves designing core networking infrastructure for a mesh communication layer that enables autonomous systems to communicate across denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited network environments. You will implement features like gossip protocols, OSPF-style link-state routing, and flow control while building a gRPC proxy layer. Key responsibilities include debugging complex networking issues across tactical radios and UDP/TCP transports, performing protocol-level optimizations for bandwidth-constrained RF links, and developing deterministic simulation harnesses. Required skills include proficiency in Rust, C, C++, or Go, along with expertise in TCP/UDP, socket programming, TLS/mTLS, Protocol Buffers, and gRPC. You will also utilize Prometheus, Grafana, and Wireshark for observability and debugging.
