Open Source Engineer (Rust) - Creative Play

At Embark we love the openness and collaborative nature of the quickly growing ecosystem and community around Rust! This includes its tens of thousands of open source crates - of which we successfully use quite a lot in our projects.

As an Open Source Engineer in the Creative Play project, you will work with our community and engineering teams on open source projects. You will be one of the key links between Embark and the greater software ecosystem, and a committed supporter of game development in Rust.

We're committed to supporting a thriving open source ecosystem, and you'll help maintain and developer our presence in it!

You will work in a team of passionate Rust-engineers, some of them working on a new way to compile GPU programs written in Rust. You will be a part of the forefront in Rust game development.

Welcome to the friendly family of Rust at Embark!
