As a Rust Developer - Material Flow at arculus, you will turn complex operational research models into production-ready software that performs at scale. You will implement algorithms, data structures, and machine learning models in Rust, ensuring mathematical concepts are translated into reliable, scalable, and maintainable software for real-world material flow systems. You will work closely with Operational Researchers and cross-functional teams to bring advanced optimization into production.
Your Tasks & Responsibilities
Translate optimization algorithms and mathematical models into efficient Rust code
Develop high-performance data structures and abstractions
Write safe, concurrent code optimized for throughput, latency, and resource usage
Ensure systems meet performance and reliability targets
Build unit, integration, and benchmark tests and validate implementations with Operational Researchers
Identify edge cases and ensure correctness of algorithmic implementations
Collaborate with researchers and team members to clarify requirements
Document code, algorithms, and usage for maintainability
Support CI/CD, containerization, and observability implementation
Assist in prototyping new algorithms or ML inference pipelines
Your Experience
MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of experience in software engineering and product development
Proven experience programming in high-level languages with a focus on efficient, robust, and scalable data structures and algorithms
Expert knowledge of solving optimization problems using suitable algorithms and data structures
Extensive experience working in data-driven environments with simulation and short time-to-market cycles
Experience implementing optimization algorithms, graph algorithms, or ML inference in production systems
Experience with performance profiling, benchmarking, and observability tools
Experience in logistics, robotics, warehouse management, or material flow systems
Who You Are
Strong communicator who applies effective feedback practices with empathy
Demonstrates ownership, accountability, and self-organization
Practices self-reflection and continuous learning to achieve goals
Maintains clarity in roles, responsibilities, and decision-making
Acts transparently and proactively proposes improvements
Thinks conceptually and structurally when solving complex problems
WHY ARCULUS
We are a diverse, global team of 100+ creative thinkers, algorithmic brains, makers, movers, and shakers.
Our approach comes from a continuous cycle: assemble, weld, code, test, deploy or delete, and repeat. That is how we deliver innovative solutions to tackle the biggest intralogistics challenges.
You will find our tech space nestled within the eastern region of Munich. It serves as a hub for our team's creativity and collaboration, featuring state-of-the-art meeting rooms, a fully-equipped electronics lab, and a spacious robotics testing area. Our team also enjoys a variety of social spaces, all within the modern infrastructure of the renowned Neue Balan campus.
We are more than just a workplace: we are a community. We encourage connection and affiliation through a range of activities: hiking trips, running events, ping pong tournaments, and quiz nights — there is something for everyone.
We also believe that work should be rewarding in more ways than just one. That is why we offer competitive salaries and benefits like EGYM Wellpass, language courses, Jobrad, and flexible working hours.
If you are moving to join our team, we provide relocation and visa support to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
