Are you looking to hire Rust developers?

Rust is a powerful programming language developed by Mozilla that industry giants like Microsoft, Dropbox, and Cloudflare use. It’s setting new standards for performance, safety, and reliability.

Rust sets these standards by preventing common programming errors. By preventing these errors and improving memory safety, Rust has become an excellent choice for apps demanding high reliability and security, such as web browsers and operating systems.

As Rust’s popularity grows, so does the demand for skilled developers. This demand can make it tricky to hire Rust developers. What’s more, hiring Rust developers who aren’t the right fit for your company can cost you thousands of dollars.

That’s where we come in. At Gun.io, we help companies large and small–from Fortune 500s to startups – hire Rust developers for full-time and part-time positions. Our average time to hire is 13 days.

And instead of non-technical recruiters, we have a team of senior developers who run our vetting and matching. This process means we can help you hire freelance Rust developers with minimal fuss.  

Hire Rust developers vetted by our team of senior engineers

Developers on our platform go through a rigorous screening process. This screening includes an algorithmic screening, a background check, and a live technical interview with one of our senior engineers. As a result, approximately 100 developers get to work with Gun.io clients each month out of 1,000 who apply.

How to hire Rust developers

What is Rust programming language?

Rust is a versatile, general-purpose programming language that combines the best of both worlds: low-level hardware access with a high-level, readable syntax.

The standout feature of Rust is its commitment to safety and performance. By focusing on concurrent programming, Rust allows parts of a program to execute simultaneously. This improves overall efficiency.

The language’s dedication to safety extends to its concurrent programming and memory management approach. Unlike traditional garbage collection in languages like C and C++, Rust’s borrow checker detects potential issues at compile time. This checker means that references do not outlive the data they point to. This not only improves safety but also eliminates the need for continuous garbage collection, making Rust more efficient.

Rust offers two distinct coding modes: Safe Rust and Unsafe Rust. Safe Rust imposes additional restrictions on programmers, guaranteeing correct code execution. Meanwhile, Unsafe Rust grants developers more control but requires careful attention to avoid potential issues.

With its ability to deliver high-performance, secure, and concurrent applications, Rust is a popular language for gaming engines, operating systems, and web browsers. Its unique features and focus on safety and reliability have earned it the trust of developers, making it a promising language for future technological advancements.

What is a Rust developer?

Rust developers build software and apps using the Rust programming language. With its syntax resembling C++, developers with experience in C++ will find Rust relatively easy to learn and adapt for their projects.

One of Rust’s advantages is ensuring memory safety without garbage collection. This memory safety feature sets it apart from the Go programming language.

As systems programmers, Rust developers focus on building various systems, not just software applications. These systems can range from servers and command-line interfaces to browser engines.

To excel in their roles, Rust developers must deeply understand the interplay between hardware and software and how they achieve optimal performance together. Their responsibilities and expectations may vary depending on the specific project they are working on.

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire Rust developers with Gun.io?

We get a lot of questions about how to hire freelance Rust developers and how much they’ll cost. The short answer is this: If you have a budget, we can design a solution to suit your needs. But planning for a future headcount is much easier when you have numbers and data.

With this in mind, we don’t have standard prices on Gun.io. Instead, we offer flexible retainers based on your needs, the project, and the developers’ salary expectations. These retainers start at $5,000 per month. This price includes Gun.io’s fee, and you’ll see the total price upfront on developers’ profiles. There are no extra fees.

To help you move forward and hire Rust developers, we’ve gathered data from recent hires on the Gun.io platform. These numbers represent the averages and ranges for developer costs within their respective experience and geography bands.

This data is a great place to understand how companies you’re competing with think about their investment with each hire.

We recommend using this data as a guide. You’ll still need to consider other factors to determine what will best meet your needs.

How is Gun.io different from other Rust developer hiring platforms?

We make hiring Rust developers effortless, whether for full-time or part-time roles. We streamline the hiring process, from sourcing and vetting candidates to matching you with top Rust programmers.

Our clients appreciate our quick and easy hiring experience, with an average time-to-hire of 13 days. In addition, we’ve implemented a strict vetting process and have built a network of top developers. As a result, our developers have an average of 10+ years of experience.

Here’s a percentage breakdown for approved devs in our network:

• < 7 years: 11%
• 7-9 years: 26%
• 10-19 years: 47%
• 20+ years: 16%

Can I hire a Rust developer part-time?

Yes, you can! At Gun.io, you can hire Rust developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis.

Of the three, contract-to-hire is a favorite among our clients and developers. This is because contract-to-hire lets you roll the developer onto your project to see if they’re a good fit before hiring full-time.

Does Gun.io only provide hiring services, or can I get project management support for my Rust project too?

Yes, you can (again!) Gun.io can help you hire Rust developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis, and provide project management support.

We facilitate intro calls and support both parties as needed throughout the engagement. We also handle hours tracking, billing, and payments.
