Rust Project/Foundation | Program Manager | Remote
Rust is a programming language that helps people build reliable and efficient software at scale. It's a language that many people love.
The members of the Rust Project work together to build and advance this language and its related tooling and infrastructure. We take a particular pride in shipping tools that are stable and well polished.
We've lately been doing more explicit program management as part of our ongoing work to improve and scale our processes for shipping our language and these high quality tools. We've developed systems and standards for this that have proven to work well within the Rust Project, and we've been seeing substantial value from this work being done in the context of our edition and project goal programs.
We're now looking to hire some sharp and talented individuals to support and advance these systems and this work. That's where you come in.

One of the challenges of abstracting this layer is that who sells the product still adds or subtracts value from the purchasing experience because of those mundane details (shipping speed, reliability, returns, etc.).
There are various ways of dealing with this. Amazon [1] is already active in this space using what you might call the "user review" model combined with enforcing some exacting standards on their vendors. Already having a huge channel of course made it easier for Amazon to get vendors to accept this.
[1] Incidentally, I've never thought that Amazon did a great job with sorting products within its general categories, so I always search instead. But I do wonder, how many more people would window-shop at Amazon if their sorted product catalog was more interesting?
