Senior Rust Systems Engineer â Edge Proxy & Fleet

Remote, India | Direct Hire | 6+ Years Total (3+ Years Production Rust)

About Securly

Securly is a K-12 EdTech company built around one mission: keeping students safe and well, both online and off. Our platform gives schools the infrastructure to filter and monitor web traffic, flag signs of self-harm or bullying, and support student wellness â all while giving IT teams tools that hold up on real school networks, not just in a demo. That mission runs straight through this role: the edge proxy appliance is core infrastructure sitting inside thousands of school networks, and it has to work every single school day, at scale, without fail.

We're a team of roughly 330 people across Pune, the US, and the UK, working across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to build and support that platform. Engineering in Pune plays a central role in building the systems that make Securly's safety mission possible â this isn't a satellite team, it's where core infrastructure like this gets built.

The Role

We're looking for a Rust systems engineer to own core parts of the fleet-wide proxy running across thousands of on-premise appliances deployed in school networks â fleet-wide OTA updates, control‑plane connectivity back to AWS, and the network stack tuning that keeps it all running reliably at scale.

Must-Haves:

3+ years hands‑on production Rust in a systems or embedded context (not app/web Rust)
6+ years total engineering experience
Systems/network programming â TCP stream handling, socket programming, transparent proxying
Embedded Linux fundamentals â device drivers, kernel modules, cross‑compilation, or hardware bring‑up
Docker/containerization for constrained/appliance deployment
Performance testing and profiling â load testing, memory/CPU profiling, flame graph analysis
Working knowledge of AWS and IaC concepts

Strongly Preferred:

Prior fleet management or IoT device fleet experience, C/C++ or Go alongside Rust, eBPF/netfilter/HAProxy/Envoy exposure

Nice to Have:

RADIUS, observability (CloudWatch/Splunk/SLOs)
