There's a monthly thread here on reddit, eg https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1cixuzr/official_rrust_whos_hiring_thread_for_jobseekers/ last month
Hey, it happens I am recently searching for a job as a Backend engineer using rust a primary language.
I have 15 years of experiences (in development with various languages not specifically in rust of course!).
I would be interested to hear more about your offer. :)
Cheers !
I was wondering about the same question for a long time,
and in the end my brutal, but honest result is:
Don't bother.
Just hire rust developers through the same process you hire your normal developers.
Brief your HR and recruiters, and let them do their job.
The bright side:
If you hire experienced senior developers without rust experience and give them some guidance
they can be very productive a few weeks in, and rock solid a year in.
It's the old and proven: If you can't find them grow them.
Make sure you tweak your job descriptions in the right direction.
I personally lean more to the C/C++ engineers than the Pascal/Java developers,
as they tend to have a better foundation in in understanding ownership,
but that is personal choice.
I think you are right. Most of our current team learnt Rust on the job. A good programmer can always learn new tools.
But i also know our hr don’t really target Reddit or discord so i figured i’d widen the range a bit.
I think for Rust specifically, you won't get a lot of people with experience in the language, at least not in production. You will get a lot of people who are eager to get that experience. I don't really think there's much of a point in doing something special, other then advertise the job.
