What does a Rust developer do?
A Rust developer builds software in Rust, a compiled systems language that offers C-level performance with memory safety guaranteed at compile time. They write high-performance backends, systems components, CLIs and WebAssembly modules where speed, reliability and low resource use matter.
DevKit Rust developers work with async Rust on Tokio, web frameworks such as Axum and Actix Web, databases and WebAssembly tooling, and join your team in your tools and processes. Every one of them passes a technical interview with our senior engineers before you see their CV.
When to hire one
- High-performance, low-latency backend services
- Rewriting slow or crash-prone components in a memory-safe language
- Systems software, CLIs and embedded or networking code
- WebAssembly modules for the browser or edge
What our Rust developers do
Typical work our Rust engineers take on for clients.
Async services and APIs
REST and gRPC services on Tokio with Axum or Actix Web that stay fast under heavy load.
Systems programming
Low-level components, networking code and CLIs with predictable performance and memory use.
WebAssembly
Rust compiled to WebAssembly for compute-heavy work in the browser, at the edge or in plugins.
Performance and safety
Profiling, benchmarking and careful ownership design that remove bottlenecks without unsafe shortcuts.
Interop and migration
Rust modules called from C, C++, Python or Node.js, and gradual rewrites of hot paths.
Testing and code quality
Unit, integration and property tests, Clippy and code review that keep the codebase maintainable.

Matched to your budget: which level do you need?
We match the level to the work, so you don't pay senior rates for tasks a mid-level engineer handles well, or put critical work on the wrong hire.
Junior
Well-defined tasks with guidance
Bug fixes, tests and smaller features in an established codebase, with a senior on your team to review their work. The most budget-friendly option.
Mid-level
Independent feature work
Builds features end to end in an existing architecture with little supervision. The best value for most product teams.
Senior
Complex features and ownership
Owns complex parts of the system, makes sound technical decisions and mentors others. Worth it where mistakes are expensive.
Tech lead / Architect
Architecture and team leadership
Designs the system, sets standards and leads other engineers. Ideal for new products, rewrites or a team without technical leadership.

Hiring Rust developers: FAQ
How quickly can I hire a Rust developer through DevKit?
You usually receive vetted Rust CVs within 3–5 business days, and the developer typically starts within 2–3 weeks of the first call. If the fit isn't right, we replace them free of charge.
Do your Rust developers know async Rust and WebAssembly?
Yes. Our Rust developers build async services on Tokio with Axum or Actix Web, and many have compiled Rust to WebAssembly with wasm-bindgen. They also work with PostgreSQL, gRPC and FFI to C, Python or Node.js. Tell us your stack and we'll match to it.
Do I need a senior Rust developer?
Not always. If your architecture is set and someone senior reviews the code, a mid-level developer often delivers the same results for less. For a rewrite of a critical component, complex async or unsafe code, or a new systems architecture, a senior engineer or tech lead is usually worth it. We'll recommend the right level on a free call.
How much does it cost to hire a Rust developer?
Staff augmentation is billed as a monthly rate per engineer, depending on the level and stack. Tell us your budget and we'll match Rust developers to it; exact rates come with the first CVs.
