Why N-able


At N-able, we’re not just helping businesses be secure —we’re redefining what it means to be cyber resilient. Our end-to-end platform blends AI-powered capabilities and flexible tech stacks, so customers can manage, secure, and recover with confidence. But the real power behind it all? Our people. We’re a global crew of N-ablites, who love solving complex problems, sharing knowledge, and delivering solutions that actually make a difference. If you're into meaningful work, fast growth, and a team that’s got your back, you’ll be surrounded by people who believe in what they do—and in you.

 

We’re building a brand-new cross-platform agent to operate seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. This is a greenfield project, and we’re looking for a Staff Rust Engineer to lead the technical direction, architecture, and development of this agent.

You’ll be the Rust expert in a team of experienced C++ engineers, guiding the adoption of Rust, mentoring teammates, and shaping the future of our platform.

  • Own technical decisions and drive long-term maintainability and scalability.
  • Mentor engineers transitioning from C++ to Rust.
  • Work closely with product, security, and infrastructure teams to align on goals.
