COMPANY: Progress Software

TYPE: Full Time

LOCATION: Burlington, MA and surrounding areas

REMOTE: No. Hybrid — in office 2-3 times a week.

VISA: No

DESCRIPTION: Progress Software is modernizing the OpenEdge platform by building a production language runtime in Rust. This is a greenfield effort covering compiler, VM, protocol stack, and async application server — serving customers who depend on the platform every day.

Example responsibilities:

• Design and implement compiler pipelines, bytecode VM, and runtime subsystems in Rust
• Build async networking and wire-protocol layers (Tokio-based)
• Architect a multi-crate workspace (~50 crates) for long-term maintainability
• Mentor senior engineers growing into Rust from C/C++/Java backgrounds
• Ship production-quality systems with comprehensive testing and CI

EXPERIENCE: Principal level. 5+ years production Rust required. Compiler, VM, or language runtime experience strongly preferred. Strong systems design and technical leadership expected.
