- At
SpruceID, we are reimagining trusted interactions by creating the
world’s best software for packaging beliefs digitally. We are a team of
programmers working to develop world-class open source products and
libraries implementing open global standards in identity.
There
are no well-worn paths or theoreticals here. Every SpruceID technical
staffer gets their hands dirty writing code, learning new technologies,
and solving problems at the bleeding edge of our space. We hire
results-oriented developers who love technology and are committed to
intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation.
You
will be responsible for developing cross-platform libraries, server
software, full-stack applications, and infrastructure using multiple
technologies including Rust. Our software is secure by design,
professionally audited, and suitable for high stakes applications. You
will also have the opportunity to contribute to emerging global
technology standards for digital identity. While we don't require you to
have Rust experience to apply for this job, you should demonstrate a
strong aptitude for statically typed languages, memory management, and
secure programming practices.
We are a fully distributed team, but our working hours run from PT (UTC-8) through CET (UTC+1).
Responsibilities
- Contribute to new and existing Rust codebases that run on backend services, mobile devices, and in the browser

We
are passionate about cultivating a thriving culture of diverse
individuals who bring unique perspectives to our mission. We are
committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color,
