Are There Jobs in Rust?

In October, we were able to find 1361 Rust jobs. That is our largest sample yet!

How Many Companies Use Rust?

We found 120 unique companies hiring in October, which interestingly represented a bit of a drop from last month. We are always looking to find more. So, if you know of a company that should be added to this group, email us at filtra@filtra.io.

What Companies Use Rust Most?

Anduril cracked the number one spot this month. This is confirmation of a major trend we've been pointing out- Rust's rapidly growing importance in the robotics space. It is also, unfortunately but seemingly inevitably, an indication of a world engaged in a global arms race. KeyRock has grown their listings quite a bit. What's going on there? Perhaps a bit of a crypto-comeback? Finally, maybe the biggest story on the leaderboard is DropBox rocketing into 8th place out of nowhere. They posted a boatload of infrastructure openings this month. So, I guess go get 'em while they're hot!

What Other Companies Use Rust?

The proverbial "bench" of non-top ten Rust hirers keeps getting deeper with DataDog, Nvidia, Google, and SpaceX all posting 20+ Rust positions. It's also well-worth digging into the smaller companies on this list. There are some real gems! We're always trying to grow this list, so again, if you know of a company that should be added to our index, don't hesitate to reach out: filtra@filtra.io

What Industries Use Rust Most?

Last month we said that iot/robotics/automotive would soon overtake cloud/infrastructure. I stand by it! ...patience though. With that said, AI may just give the hyperscalers a second wind (or third or fourth or fifth). It will be an interesting next couple of years for Rust!

What Other Industries Use Rust?

We used to say that the long-tail of Rust-using industries was growing. And, it is a little. But, to me the more striking trend here seems to be Rust usage really concentrating in industries where a mix of performance, reliability, and safety is vital. However, we have anecdotally observed that robotics companies are using Rust across the full stack because it allows the same engineers to build different components without context-switching languages. Check out our interviews with Matic and Parallel for more details on that.

Are Rust Jobs Only For Senior Devs?

The share of Rust jobs that are entry-level is going... up! It's almost impossible to believe. And yet, there it is. What a great change for the community.
