What’s your dream company to write Rust for?

Sonair's ADAR is an ultrasonic sensor with 3D coverage & no moving parts—a critical advantage over 2D LiDAR. Q: What's ADAR's MOST competitive advantage for Autonomous Mobile Robots? A. True 3D (180x180) Safety Coverage B. Fewer Moving Parts C. Deterministic Algorithms D. Lower Cost to Manufacture

The paradox of safety-critical software: We use languages like C/C++ because they're certified, even if they're memory-unsafe. As Espen Albrektsen said, "It's counterintuitive but that’s the way it is." He sees a future where certified Rust lowers the barrier for safer systems.

We just posted a new interview with Espen Albrektsen of Sonair. They are doing some very important work around safety-certified Rust. I think it's going to have a huge impact on the Rust community! Check it out with the link below:

AI isn't just a Python game anymore. Our August Rust Jobs Report shows Data Science is the 3rd largest industry for Rust hiring. With companies like xAI now the #3 biggest hirer of Rust talent overall, the trend towards performance-critical AI is undeniable. filtra.io/rust/jobs-re...

Want to get paid to work on open-source Rust? We asked David Wood, who leads the Rust team at Arm, how to land a "dream job" at the intersection of systems programming and core open-source contribution. His advice for up-and-comers:

Hey everyone, our next interview will be us (Drew & Grant), sharing the story of filtra.io — how we started, how we got here, and where we’re going. What questions do you want us to answer? btw, going forward, some of our interviews will also be available on video :)

Hot take from our latest report: While Rust is king of performance, we predict decreasing enthusiasm for it in web dev where its steep learning curve can outweigh the benefits. Do you agree or disagree?

Pinch me! The quality of interviewees we've been getting these days is a dream for us. Just dropped a huge new Rust interview with David Wood, Rust Team Lead at Arm. Check it out in the link below:

Just published the August Rust Jobs Report! This one really made me realize how much the Rust job market is changing. Curious if you have any observations or questions about the changes in the Rust job market? Link to report below:

Very cool, more niche interview just dropped! Have you heard of tonari? They are building portals that "fuse" together distributed workplaces. And, of course, they're doing it all in Rust! Check it out in the link below:

Yet another awesome interview in the books! This time we talked to Nell Shamrell-Harrington of @microsoft.com and @rustfoundation.org fame. Check it out using the link below:

Huge new interview with Mikayla Maki of @zed.dev. Super fun interview to do as a Zed user and fan. Mikayla and I talked about lots of things including the reasons for creating Zed, how they are approaching agentic code editing, and the highly social culture at Zed. Link below:

The July '25 Rust Jobs Report is posted! Link in reply:

Just posted a great interview view with @senyosimpson.com of @fly.io. Check it out in the link below!

Anyone going this year!?

Shoutout to @filtra.bsky.social for supporting #EuroRust25! If you’re hiring or looking for Rust roles, you probably already know them. If not, now’s the time 🦀

Thanks for supporting #EuroRust25 to @filtra.bsky.social! 🦀  Hiring or job hunting? filtra.io is the go-to place for finding Rust jobs. You might know them from the monthly Rust Jobs Report or their deep-dive interviews.

Ran into an interesting article about memory optimization in Rust at Figma. Link below!

The June 2025 Rust Jobs report is up! Link below:

Interesting discussion about Rust in Ubuntu! See below:

Did you know that Disney+ uses Rust? You can read a bit about it in the article linked below!

If you don't have Helsing on your radar as one of the most up and coming Rust companies, you should! I talked to @jonhoo.eu all about his work there in an awesome, recent interview. Check it out in the link below!

Interesting article: "Migrating Off Legacy Tokio At Scale" Talks about one of Okta's codebases that adopted async Rust early and had to be updated. There are probably more than a few such cases!

The May 2025 Rust Jobs Report is out! Link below:

Had a fun conversation about all-things Rust with Herbert Wolverson. He has a great, high-level view of the community. Link below!

We did a very cool interview with Alan Chen, Head of Engineering at InfinyOn. They are rewriting data streaming in Rust. Check out the interview at the link below!

I am much less enamored with Docker than I once was.

Just did an awesome interview with @jonhoo.eu about his work at Helsing. Stay tuned for this one to drop!

A few weeks ago we asked a bunch of people who write Rust for work about how to get a Rust job. Almost half of them said they actually turned an existing job into a Rust job. So, we put together an article just about that. Check it out at the link below!

Did an awesome interview with Steven Wu of Scanner. They've used Rust across their stack, completely rearchitecting log analysis to build something much faster! Check it out! (link below)

When we created filtra, we took a leap of faith: post jobs for free. We knew this would put us at the front of the pack when it comes to Rust job boards. With the positive reception and even imitation we've seen (flattering😉), I think I can say this has proven to be the case...

Are there resources out there for learning Rust + robotics?

The April 2025 Rust Jobs Report is out! Link below:

Okay, I've finished the first draft of The KCL Book. Here's the complete guide to KittyCAD and defining 3D CAD models in code! Feedback very welcome. zoo.dev/docs/kcl/int...

We're seeing a surprising amount of Rust adoption in the defense space. It actually makes perfect sense, but it's just happening without fanfare, which is kinda different from what we've seen in other industries so far.

How come nobody is filling their free time by compiling absurd things to WASM to run in the browser anymore?

Big, huge thank you to those who took time to answer our survey!

Been excited to share this... We asked a bunch of professional Rust devs how to get a Rust job and distilled everything we learned into a guide! Link below!

A lot of people out there looking for a Rust job are probably not networking in the right places to find Rust jobs specifically.

After focusing so exclusively on building things for "people looking for Rust jobs" for such a long period of time, I have a strangely strong affinity for this little group.

If you're looking for a job where you can write Rust, we have 1000+ of them listed on our job board! You can filter them by location office style (remote, hybrid, in-person), seniority level, and industry

What are things that genuinely need to be rewritten in Rust?

Yes, we won't use a lot of the data, but having gotten a little further with the project, you can rest assured that this is still gonna be really useful!

Would you reach out to a recruiter for help finding a job where you can write Rust?

I think a lot of the data is going to get thrown out. Large sections feel either unhelpful or somehow flawed. Still have hope there will be interesting insights though in the end.

We've got an exciting interview coming up next week with a company that uses Rust heavily in the log analysis and security niche. This one's a bit of a deep cut. First person that can guess which company it is wins!

People over on the other app are fighting over sql. Where do you all come down on it?

Do you use browser bookmarks?

I find AI to be incredibly useful. I also find it unlikely that we are close to something that takes over software engineering or resembles "agi"
