Senior Rust Developer

We are looking for a Senior Rust Developer. Their goal is to advance computational biology by developing scalable, open-source workflow execution engines that empower scientists to efficiently deploy and manage large-scale computations.

General Information

  • Location: Remote. Open to talents from GMT-8 to GMT+5 time zones. The client is not open to China, Australia or countries in similar time zones.
  • Overlap: 3 - 4 hours with Chicago/Texas (US Central Time)
  • Length: 6 months (with potential for extension)

Project Information

Sprocket is an open workflow execution engine written in Rust—it enables scientists, who are generally not experts at scaling and deploying large-scale computation, to write simple workflow descriptions using the Workflow Description Language.

  • Required Skills:
    • Senior-level proficiency in Rust, with a strong track record of shipping production code
    • Experience contributing to or leading open-source projects
    • Familiarity with workflow engines, scientific computing, or large-scale computation
    • Ability to work with Rust crates for lexing, parsing, validating, linting, formatting, testing, and executing domain-specific languages
    • Strong skills in API design and specification development
    • Experience using GitHub for project planning and collaboration
  • Optional Skills (not mandatory):
    • Experience developing or improving specifications using OpenAPI (Swagger)
    • Familiarity with the Workflow Description Language (WDL) and Task Execution Schema (TES)
    • Experience with Kubernetes or cloud/HPC environments
    • Prior involvement with standards bodies (e.g., GA4GH)
    • Experience with Rust crates such as utoipa for OpenAPI/Swagger documentation

Deliverables

  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of the Sprocket workflow execution engine and related Rust crates (e.g., wdl, sprocket, crankshaft)
  • Improve and extend the Workflow Description Language (WDL) specification, including proposing, drafting, and shepherding changes through the ratification process
  • Collaborate on the evolution of the Task Execution Schema (TES), including interaction with standards bodies and the open-source community
  • Develop and maintain reference implementations, ensuring comprehensive API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
  • Regularly communicate progress and coordinate with the internal computational biology team

  • Full-time and long-term role
  • Opportunity to work on impactful, open-source technology used by scientists worldwide
  • Influence the direction of open standards in scientific workflow execution
