Sr. Rust Engineer at Fortanix
Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
Summary
👤
SeniorVasili Novikov is a senior Rust engineer with 13 years of professional experience and a 15-year programming background anchored by strong mathematical training. He has built systems from the ground up—leading Memri’s backend and security architecture to ship a first version used in an investment pitch and scaling teams and CI practices as a tech lead. Comfortable in both Rust and Scala, Vasili has a track record of stabilizing high-risk systems (memory-leak fixes, async task queues) and contributing useful open-source tools like rua and timeplot. Based in Amsterdam since 2018, he prefers mission-driven teams and quality-focused engineering and requires Dutch payroll/EOR arrangements to continue working remotely. Notably, his blend of academic rigor, hands-on security design, and open-source maintenance makes him adept at solving subtle production and cryptography-adjacent problems.
