Staff Engineer, Rust

Staff Engineer

Belfast

Hybrid Schedule (Remote M/F, In-Office T/W/TH)

At Magnite, we cultivate an environment of continuous growth and collaboration. Our work impacts what millions of people read, watch, and buy, and we’re looking for people to help us tackle that responsibility with creativity and focus.  Magnite (NASDAQ: MGNI) is the world’s largest independent sell-side advertising platform. Publishers use our technology to monetize their content across all screens and formats including CTV / streaming, online video, display, and audio. Our tech fuels billions of transactions per day!

Location:

This is a hybrid role based in our Belfast office. Magnite’s hybrid schedule includes two days worked remotely (Monday and Friday) and three days on-site (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Our offices provide catered lunches, beverages, snacks, training and development, and office events to support your work week.

In this role, you will:  

• Implement low latency high-performance solutions, mostly using Rust but willing to work in whatever language is required

• Quickly get familiarized with Rust (if required) to in turn help mentor and support other engineers who might struggle with systems-language-level concepts

• Have a large say in the design and implementation of relatively new services, and brainstorm how to bring better solutions to more teams/projects across Magnite

• Build proofs-of-concept to demonstrate potential performance or design improvements, and adapt them to enterprise-grade solutions

We’re looking for someone with: 

• 6+ years of experience

• Very strong systems-language-level expertise, preferably: Rust but C++, C, or Go experience is all valuable

• A strong understanding of RAII, object lifetimes, memory management, and other low-level concepts, even when using high-level abstractions over those concepts

• Strong foundations with data structures and algorithms, able to identify better ways to solve problems

• The ability to be a self-starter and motivated, who prefers quick proofs-of-concept and experiments 

• Strong coding practices - the gap bringing code from a PoC into an enterprise solution shouldn't be so wide for someone with this experience

Total Rewards Include

Comprehensive Perks and Benefits: 

• Holiday Breaks and Quarterly Wellness Days

• Equity and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

• Family-Focused Benefits and Parental Leave 

• Private Medical Insurance

• Competitive Pension Plan

• Mobile Phone Subsidy

• Fitness and Wellness Reimbursement

Company Culture:

• Career Development Initiatives and a Career Growth Framework

• Culture and Inclusion Programs

• Bonusly Peer-to-Peer Recognition Program
