Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About Teamcubate
At Teamcubate, we don’t just connect talent with tech—we embed senior engineers, designers, and product leaders into some of the most forward-thinking startups in Europe and beyond. Our mission is simple: find the best people, remove the noise, and place them where they can build things that matter. We’re a long-term partner, not just a recruiter—trusted by companies and talent alike for our product-first, founder-friendly approach.

About the Client
We’re currently hiring on behalf of an international music-tech startup headquartered between Spain and the UAE, with a clear mission: to give creators ownership, fans a voice, and the music industry a decentralised future.

About the Role
This isn’t a clone app or a Web3 buzzword—it’s a deep-tech platform solving real problems faced by creators. Built from the ground up using distributed ledger technology (DLT), decentralised identity (DID), AI-driven, and real-time streaming infrastructure, this iPaaS (Integrated Platform as a Service) is designed to redefine how artists and fans connect.

You’ll be joining a team that’s building:

• Tokenised music assets and revenue splits
• AI-enhanced fan analytics
• DLT-powered ticketing and credentialing
• Creator wallets with real monetisation tools
• A fan-driven ecosystem where ownership is transparent and earned

Rooted in strong ethical principles and creator-first values, this is a startup owned by creators, powered by fans, and guided by technology—and you’ll be part of the core team laying its foundation.

Build the Future of Music with Us 🎶

This is your chance to join at the foundation level: a product-led, vision-driven team building a platform where you’ll have a voice at the table, autonomy in execution, and the chance to build real infrastructure—not just glue code.

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Senior Full-Stack/Database Engineer to join their team in developing a groundbreaking decentralised framework for MuFi (Music Finance) & RiFi (Royalty Finance). 

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement a scalable and high-performance database architecture using TimeScaleDB and PostgreSQL, ensuring efficient storage, retrieval, and analysis of time-series data.
• Develop and optimise database schemas, indexes, and queries to support the diverse requirements of our decentralised framework, including event ticketing, music creator marketplaces, and other SaaS platforms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including front-end developers, back-end engineers, and data scientists, to integrate the database layer seamlessly with the overall application architecture.
• Implement robust data modelling techniques, ensuring data integrity, consistency, and adherence to industry best practices.
• Develop and maintain efficient data pipelines for ingesting, processing, and transforming data from various sources, including blockchain networks and external APIs.
• Implement caching strategies and other performance optimisation techniques to ensure high availability and low latency for critical application components.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints, enabling seamless communication between the front-end and back-end components.
• Participate in code reviews, ensuring code quality, maintainability, and adherence to best practices and coding standards.
• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployment, monitoring, and scaling of the database infrastructure.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in Full-stack/DB.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing complex database systems, preferably with** TimeScaleDB and PostgreSQL.**
• Strong proficiency in Rust for server-side web application programming.
• Solid understanding of database concepts, including data modelling, query optimisation, indexing, and performance tuning.
• Experience with time-series data management, analytics, and visualisation.
• Proficiency in RESTful API design and implementation, preferably with GraphQL experience.
• Familiarity with blockchain technologies, distributed ledgers, and decentralised applications (DApps) is a plus.
• Experience with containerisation technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes, is highly desirable.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to interact effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

**What's in it for you? **

• Voice at the table – Influence architecture, product, and team culture
• Solve real problems – Creators are underpaid; we’re fixing that
• Stack autonomy – Rust-first, DLT-native, AI-augmented
• Flexible work – Hybrid setup 
• Competitive salary – Backed by long-term vision and founder-level commitment
• Mission-driven culture – Build for people, not platforms

If you believe in transparency, ownership, and decentralised creativity—we want to hear from you.
