Job Specifications

Backend Engineer (Rust) :Infrastructure & Observability (NYC, Onsite)

Backed by top-tier investors | Profitable ($5-10M ARR) | Onsite NYC (5d/w)

Realm are supporting an incredible NYC-based AI infrastructure startup that's already profitable and scaling fast. They're building what's effectively an AI Site Reliability Engineer, a system that can automatically detect, diagnose, and fix production issues for major enterprises. It's the sort of deep-tech role you rarely see outside of FAANG or research labs, but with genuine startup pace and ownership.

The Role

We're hiring a Backend Engineer (Rust) to join a small, world-class team focused on observability, reliability, and automated remediation. Expect hands-on work across Rust, Kubernetes, Kafka, Terraform, and AWS.

What You'll Do

Build high-performance Rust services for telemetry and observability
Develop and scale Kubernetes/Kafka-based infrastructure
Work closely with founders and engineers from Datadog, DE Shaw, and MIT

Ideal Profile

2-6+ years in backend or infrastructure engineering (Rust experience is ESSENTIAL)
Strong experience with Kubernetes, Kafka, and distributed systems
Confident debugging production environments
Comfortable working onsite in NYC (5d/w), relocation supported and able to sponsor H1B Visas

Why It's Exciting

$150k-$300k base + meaningful equity (not token options)
Backed by top-tier investors; profitable from day one
Incredible mentorship + technical culture (small, sharp, and humble)

If you want to work on real AI infrastructure (not toy LLM demos) this one's worth a chat.
