Rust/WASM jobs

[Joe8Bit]

Hi 👋

I was chatting to @ashleygwilliams on twitter about where the best place was to post a job and/or engage with the community and she suggested creating a ticket here!

As a bit of background, I'm VP Engineering at a company called Permutive (based in London). One of the things we do is build SDKs so our customers can segment users locally on devices (yay no data leaves the device!) to show them better targeted ads. The SDKs can be thought of as mini VMs/run-times for a 'bytecode' language our customers can build segments/apps/queries in. As such we have three SDKs (currently, it's increasing): iOS, Android and (the most popular) JavaScript. These SDKs currently run on <600 million devices a month.

Ultimately, we believe we can create one core codebase (in Rust) that we can output WASM from the compiler and run on those devices, alleviating the need for completely separate codebases.

As you might imagine, we want to hire (at least) one person to:

• Work on our core Rust SDK
• Work on our (and the communities) rustwasm toolchain
• Work on the WASM output/native shims
• Mentor and build the rest of the SDK teams skills in Rust/rustwasm/wasm/etc

Right now, I have very little insight into where to find someone who'd be interested in doing that! Do you have any advice?
