Senior/Staff Platform Engineer - Rust (d/f/m)

🤓 About Luminovo

At Luminovo, we’re building the infrastructure that turns the electronics supply chain into something software can read and act on. Our customers use it to quote PCBAs faster, find cost savings and act on risks in their supply chain.

We serve 300+ customers, from Europe’s largest EMS to category-leading OEMs, with around 100 Luminerds across Munich, Berlin, New York and Austin. We’re backed by Chalfen Ventures, Cherry Ventures and General Catalyst. With data centers and robotics driving demand for electronics, someone needs to manage that supply chain, and they’ll need good software to do it. (Here’s why we care so much about electronics.)

🚀 Your role

Team Core is our platform team. Its job is to make all our other engineering teams more productive and to improve our codebase and infrastructure as a whole. You’ll:

• Keep our DevOps setup and CI/CD pipelines fast and reliable

• Build tools every team needs (e.g. interface for building permissions)

• Act as an in-house Rust expert: our backend is a Rust monolith, and Team Core helps the other teams use good Rust patterns and architecture

• Be responsible for the Developer Experience (DX).

• Help our engineers use agents more productively

Other details

• Location: remote-first, within two hours of CET. We prefer Munich > Berlin > Germany > Europe.

• Tech stack: Rust, TypeScript + React, Postgres, Clickhouse, Redis, Kafka, Kubernetes, Helm, Flux

• 🇺🇸 Some of the work in this role falls under US export control regulations (ITAR), so you must be a US citizen. You’ll need to be based in Europe, and if you’re currently in the US, we’ll support your relocation to Germany.

🖲️ Our tech stack

We always try to use the best tools available for the job. Don't worry, we don't need you to be familiar with all of these:

• Main monolith is written in Rust (using actix-web as our web framework), deployed on Kubernetes

• React and Typescript for frontend

• PostgreSQL for persisting our data

• Redis for caching and queues

• Flux for GitOps

• Honeycomb, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and observability

• garden-io for developing on Kubernetes

• Azure and Cloudflare for cloud computing

🤓 Whom you’ll be working with

• Timon, one of our Founders

• Alex and Tomas, two of our Staff Engineers

• Inga, Senior Software Engineer

⚡️ Skills, knowledge, and expertise

Just so you know – we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications for this role. We care much more about your motivation and ability to help us accelerate technical progress than we care just about your CV.
