Rust
Programming Languages
Rust is a systems programming language developed originally at Mozilla, designed to provide memory safety and thread safety without a garbage collector through its ownership and borrow-checking model. It is used by developers for performance-critical applications such as operating systems, browsers, game engines, and web backends where C/C++-level speed is needed with fewer memory bugs. It has consistently ranked as one of the most loved languages in developer surveys and is increasingly used at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

Staff + Software Security Engineer, Labs
Menlo Ventures Portfolio
Full-time · New York, NY · $320,000 – $485,000
This is a high-risk, fast-moving security engineering role focused on building novel protections for AI systems before they become critical infrastructure. The team runs week-long experimental bets on problems like cryptographic proof of model integrity, hardened compute clusters, and verified compilation—and expects most to fail; it suits engineers with deep expertise in one hard area (cryptography, kernel internals, hardware security, formal methods) who have shipped things on their own and want to swing at problems that might not work rather than incrementally harden what exists.
