Lead Mobile Engineer | Telco & eSIM SDK | Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪

AI Rust Engineer Remote (American or European time zones)
&nbsp;
UMATR is partnering with a well-backed developer tools company to hire an AI Rust Engineer into their engineering team.
&nbsp;
Our client is building AI-native workflows for software engineers. Most AI coding tools today operate on prompts and frozen snapshots of source code, but real engineering happens inside large, living codebases that change constantly through edits, refactors, reviews, and conversation. The team is building AI systems that sit inside that environment and reason about code the way engineers actually experience it, as something that evolves rather than something static.
&nbsp;
A core piece of the platform records the operational history of development as it happens, capturing edits, discussions, and AI interactions so that models can reason about how code arrived at its current state, not just what it currently says. The work sits at the crossroads of AI systems, developer tooling, and real-time collaboration.
&nbsp;
The company is backed by top-tier global investors and experienced operators from some of the world's leading tech companies, and works closely with an engaged community of developers who care about the craft of their tools.
&nbsp;
This role is about shaping how AI understands large, evolving codebases. You'll build the infrastructure that feeds models the right context and design the evaluation loops that tell you whether their suggestions are actually improving the software. Many of the questions in this space don't yet have settled answers, and part of the job is designing and testing new approaches inside real developer workflows.
&nbsp;
What You'll Do
<ul>
<li>Design systems that let AI participate directly in real developer workflows</li>
<li>Build the infrastructure that connects language models to the editor and surrounding tooling</li>
<li>Develop context systems that help models reason about large, complex codebases</li>
<li>Design evaluation frameworks that measure whether AI-assisted development is genuinely helping engineers</li>
<li>Improve the reliability, latency, and cost efficiency of AI features in production</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with editor and infrastructure engineers to get ideas shipped quickly</li>
<li>Pair program with teammates to explore and refine systems together</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
What We're Looking For
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience building production systems powered by large language models</li>
<li>A strong grasp of model behaviour, prompting, and evaluation</li>
<li>A track record of integrating AI capabilities into real shipped software</li>
<li>Solid backend or systems programming experience</li>
<li>Genuine interest in developer tools and programming environments</li>
<li>Experience with Rust, or a real willingness to pick it up quickly</li>
<li>Strong collaboration instincts, comfortable working closely with other engineers</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Ideal Background
<ul>
<li>You've built AI coding assistants or developer tooling before</li>
<li>You have experience with, and a strong understanding of MCP</li>
<li>You've designed evaluation systems for LLM-driven products</li>
<li>You've worked with large codebases, compilers, or language tooling</li>
<li>You've built with tool-using or agent-style models</li>
<li>Production Rust experience</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>3+ years of frontend engineering experience, ideally shipping web applications or data-driven tools.</li>
<li>Strong command of React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript tooling (Next.js a plus).</li>
<li>A real eye for UX and visual detail, and the instinct to push back on designs that will not hold up in use.</li>
<li>Comfort integrating with APIs (REST, GraphQL, or similar) and reasoning about client-server boundaries.</li>
<li>A collaborative approach and a willingness to feed into product decisions, not just execute tickets.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

Hey, I&rsquo;m Patrycja (or Pat)👋🏼 I'm the Marketing Manager at the UMATR Group👩🏼&zwj;💼✨ As soon as I&rsquo;ve learnt about the company&rsquo;s values, I knew this place was for me, and a company I&rsquo;d happily market to the public. I finished my master&rsquo;s in Management, which introduced me to marketing. Without a second thought, I knew marketing was something I want to pursue in life. It allows me to express my creativity, as well as stay connected with people. The relationship between the company and clients is greatly important to nurture, and that&rsquo;s where I step in! 😇 I also lead and market a community called Scala Matters and Rust Matters! 💌To get in touch, please email Patrycja@umatr.io

Hey, I'm Mitchell, I founded UMATR at the start of 2021 after spending three years collaborating with some of the coolest tech companies across the globe.&nbsp; ​ My driving factors behind UMATR are simple: to provide a growing market with a true specialist focusing on Cloud Computing. Ensure that both clients and engineers are listened to, and provided with a bespoke service. Last but not least, absolutely ensure that the UMATR team are valued and fulfilled. 👫🚀 Why? Because your hiring needs matter. Your career matters. Your goals &amp; dreams matter, and most of all - You Matter. 💙 ​ I started my recruitment career helping contract engineers within Europe, and then shifted my focus to working with full-time engineers across the United States. This has provided me with an in-depth knowledge of different markets and tech communities. My efforts in the recruitment sector have led to recognition from two reputable groups. The RDLC awarded me with the 'Rookie of the Year&rsquo;, and the Recruitment Awards Shortlisted me within the Top 4 &lsquo;Most Inspiring Recruiters&rsquo; within the industry. 🏆💫 ​ I love to travel and see the world. That is my passion and one of the reasons I love recruitment. I get to work with so many different people across the globe, and I get to visit my clients around the world. I have personally lived in Los Angeles &amp; Dubai which have been some of my best experiences of my life so far. But London is my home and, in my opinion, the greatest city in the world. 🌎🏌️&zwj;♂️

Hey I&rsquo;m Jai, 👋🏼 I am the Delivery Manager at UMATR, and one of the founding team members. 🦈
Over the past 9 years, I&rsquo;ve worked with some of the most exciting and influential brands in their respective spaces. From Dubai to London, I&rsquo;ve always had a passion for connecting people - whether that was finding someone a new home early in my career, or more recently, helping Software Engineers land their dream roles at some of the world&rsquo;s most innovative tech companies. 🏠🌵
My recruitment journey began by supporting freelance and contract engineers across Europe, and I now use that experience to help clients across Europe and the U.S. hire the top 1% of talent. I have a particular focus on Rust Engineers across Europe, working closely with specialists in this growing ecosystem to match them with cutting-edge opportunities. With a people-first approach, I ensure every search is shaped around the unique goals and needs of each engineer. 🎯🏄🏻&zwj;♂&zwj;
