Rust Programmer

Zed is looking for a Rust programmer to help our small team create a new code editor and software collaboration platform. We're working on multiple exciting technologies, including...

• A custom, GPU-accelerated UI framework
• Collaborative editing with CRDTs
• Tree-sitter, an incremental parsing framework created by one of our founders
• Heavy use of persistent data structures and parallelism
• Novel property-based testing strategies
• WebRTC-based video and audio sharing
• An operation-based version control system that complements Git

Our fully-remote team of 6 engineers frequently pair programs in the tool we are building, and our codebase currently consists of about 160k lines of clean, thoroughly-tested Rust. In addition to the Zed editor, we're also building a tightly-integrated server-side component to facilitate collaboration.

We'd love to hear from you if...

• You're passionate about great developer tools and like the idea of using Zed to build Zed.
• You have 5+ years of programming experience and are comfortable being self-directed and leading by example.
• You have substantial systems programming experience, preferably in Rust, but alternatively in C or C++.
• You're pro-social, a good communicator, and open to pair programming at least a few hours a week.
• You know how to maintain code quality while being pragmatic and prioritizing the needs of the customer.
• You know how to write performant software, including algorithmic analysis and profile-driven optimization.
• Bonus: You have experience working on code editors, compilers, distributed systems, CRDTs, or real-time graphics.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including equity.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and make a real impact in the industry.
• A supportive and collaborative work environment that fosters innovation and growth.
• Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options.

If this sounds interesting, please send your resume along with a description of an interesting project you've worked on in Rust, C, or C++ that we could talk about.
