At bunny.net, we don’t wait for change. We make it happen. You won’t find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You’ll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally.

You’ll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them.

We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we’re always improving. We’re looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible.

Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we’re here to help it hop faster.

Senior Software Engineer (Rust)

The edge is evolving beyond caching, and we're building the next layer of infrastructure to support a truly distributed, low-latency web.

At bunny.net, Edge Scripting already allows developers to run TypeScript and JavaScript logic globally with sub-50 ms latency. Now, we're pushing things forward with EdgeDB Lite: a high-performance relational database powered by libSQL, designed for ultra-low-latency access just milliseconds from end users.

You’ll help design and build the core systems behind EdgeDB Lite and Edge Scripting, which are fast, composable, and deeply integrated into our global CDN platform. You’ll work across backend services in Rust, integrate SQLite-based engines, and refine the developer experience to make edge deployment feel as seamless as running code locally.

What will you do?

Design, build, and operate the core services that power EdgeDB Lite and Edge Scripting, using Rust as your primary language
Integrate libSQL/SQLite storage engines and build reliable, intuitive APIs that almost feel like magic
Implement and evolve the control‑plane, data‑plane, and observability pipelines with modern logging & metrics stacks (e.g., ClickHouse) and automated build/deploy workflows
Own the full SDLC: architecture, coding, automated testing, deployment, on‑call rotations, and post‑incident reviews
Collaborate with Product to turn your daily pain points into features that improve user experience
Continuously optimize for low tail‑latency and horizontal scalability across a global PoP network
Write clear technical documentation and example apps that showcase best practices

What will you bring?

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in Rust
Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern build ecosystems; you’ll use these to build Edge Scripting and EdgeDB examples and SDKs
Deep understanding of distributed systems, async programming, and networking protocols (gRPC, WebSockets, etc.)
Hands‑on experience running production workloads in Linux containers and operating CI/CD pipelines
Familiarity with SQL databases; experience with libSQL or SQLite is a big plus
A builder’s mindset: you thrive on autonomy, embrace rapid iteration, and see feedback as fuel rather than friction

What will make us extra happy?

Practical experience with logging and metrics systems like InfluxDB, ClickHouse, Prometheus, or Vector
Familiarity with Deno, V8 isolates, or other edge/serverless runtimes.
Experience building DX‑focused tools, CLIs, or SDKs
Background in multi‑tenant SaaS, usage‑based billing, or data privacy across regions
