Start with the work

Find Rust experience for your system’s requirements

Start with the component and its constraints

A network service, embedded component and WebAssembly module need different experience. Share the interfaces, workload and operating environment. We shape the shortlist around comparable work and the part of the system the engineer will own.

Review safety at the integration boundaries

Discuss ownership, error handling, unsafe code and foreign-language interfaces where relevant. Rust’s compile-time checks do not remove every application or integration risk. Ask candidates how they validate assumptions and test the boundaries they maintain.

Measure the outcome you need

Define the latency, memory or reliability problem before choosing an implementation. Review profiling, benchmarks and production debugging experience. Agree on a baseline and acceptance criteria rather than treating a language choice as a performance guarantee.
