<div>        <h3>Description</h3>        <div>          <div>            <p>Earthmover builds cloud data infrastructure for the heaviest scientific workloads of our time: climate and weather, Earth observation, genomics, ML, and large-scale AI research. Our platform supports multidimensional array data at scale, with correctness, performance, and scientific reproducibility at its core.</p><p><br></p><p>The platform consists of three major components:</p><ol><li style=""><strong>Arraylake:</strong> a cloud-native data lake for multidimensional scientific array data, offering versioning, cataloging, access control, and collaboration;</li><li style=""><strong>Flux:</strong> a standards-compliant API gateway that serves multidimensional datasets to clients and applications;</li><li style=""><strong>Icechunk:</strong> our open-source Rust-based array database that underpins the entire system.</li></ol><p><br></p><p>We are long-time contributors to the scientific data ecosystem through projects such as Zarr, Xarray, Icechunk, and xpublish-tiles. As we expand Arraylake and Flux and introduce new capabilities, we’re focused on problems that matter deeply to scientific users:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Fast, transparent array access along any dimension</li><li>Search, discoverability, and cross-organization collaboration</li><li>Performance, stability, and scalability across cloud and on-prem environments</li><li>Public datasets that can meaningfully accelerate global scientific work</li><li>Intuitive navigation and visualization of complex hierarchical scientific structures</li><li>Highly available, multi-region APIs for data delivery</li></ul><p><br></p><h1>Job Description</h1><p>As a scientific data platform company, we have two primary goals: deliver a world-class array storage and processing system, and build an exceptional collaborative experience on top of it. We’ve established a strong foundation; the next phase is shipping features and products that directly unblock scientific and analytical work at scale.</p><p><br></p><h2>Responsibilities</h2><ul><li>Maintain and expand <strong>Icechunk</strong>, our open-source Rust array database.</li><li>Design, build, and operate Rust-based pipelines, services, and execution engines within the <strong>Arraylake</strong> platform.</li><li>Improve our <strong>API</strong> performance, reliability, and overall quality—including observability, stability, versioning, and integration patterns.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>What we’re looking for</h2><ul><li><strong>5+ years</strong> of backend engineering experience.</li><li><strong>1+ years</strong> of professional Rust experience (async Rust is a strong plus).</li><li>Write <strong>Python</strong> comfortably, or can become proficient quickly.</li><li>Experience building and testing <strong>distributed systems</strong>.</li><li>Product-minded and enjoy working directly with both scientists and customers to shape features around real workflows.</li><li>Enjoy partnering with other parts of the stack (e.g., frontend) to rapidly iterate on new product capabilities.</li><li>Are excited about the mission (above), even if you haven’t worked with every technology or responsibility listed. We have a strong team and can help the right candidate grow into parts of the role.</li></ul><p><br></p><h1>Our Stack</h1><ul><li><strong>Cloud:</strong> Primarily AWS; also supporting Google Cloud and on-prem deployments</li><li><strong>Languages:</strong> Python and Rust for services and array storage; Python for client libraries</li><li><strong>Infra:</strong> Pulumi (Typescript) for IaC</li><li><strong>Frontend:</strong> Next.js deployed on Vercel</li></ul><p><br></p>          </div>        </div>      </div> <div>        Salary        <p>$100,000 - $200,000 per year</p>      </div> <div>        <div>            Apply for Senior Engineer - Rust Backend        </div>      </div>
