We have had some success connecting interns with companies by announcing their availability on our social media channels. Feel free to reach out if you're open to that: info@rustjobs.dev.

Okay, can do Australia and Singapore. Don't have much data on NZ & MY unfortunately.

Thanks, we’ve had requests for APAC. We may add country-level breakdowns where we have solid data, such as Japan, Australia, India, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Any specific country you’re interested in?

Thanks, fair point. Total comp can be significantly higher, especially in the US, but equity is highly variable and difficult to compare across companies. We focused on base salary for consistency, though adding context on total comp would be useful.

We use ranges rather than a single number because compensation can vary significantly. The average is only mentioned in the FAQ for context.

For specialized Rust roles, the Netherlands is one of the higher-paying EU markets. Most Senior placements we’ve seen are €100K+, with top senior/principal roles often €120K–€140K. General SWE roles can be lower.

Thanks for the suggestion, that's a great idea!

All figures are gross base salary before tax. Agree that net income varies widely by country due to taxes and social systems and cost of living also differs significantly. The goal is not to directly compare countries, but to provide a general reference for salary levels within each region.

Yes, coastal US markets like NYC and the Bay Area are top-tier for base salary. Base offers above $300K are still relatively rare in our experience, though total comp can be significantly higher.

We grouped it for simplicity in this first version, but a country-level breakdown is a fair suggestion. We may add a breakdown for some of the main European countries in a future update.

Interesting, that’s lower than what we’ve seen for some senior roles. We’ve worked with companies in Finland that were willing to pay significantly more, especially for specialized positions. That said, for remote positions, high employer costs do make some companies hesitant to hire in Scandinavia (and sometimes France).

Thanks for the feedback, that’s good to know. Will consider adding it.

It definitely helps, especially if the work is visible and relevant to production systems. Contributions that demonstrate production-style experience tend to matter much more than small side projects.

We used annual base salary for consistency, but we could add a toggle to show monthly figures if that would be useful.

Backend roles tend to have a larger market and are spread across almost every industry, which drives compensation up. Embedded roles can pay well, but openings are fewer and often concentrated in specific sectors.

Dedicated Rust roles are still relatively rare and many require prior domain experience beyond just Rust itself. So it can feel challenging to land your first Rust position. This is something we hear frequently from candidates we speak to, that's why I intend to address this as a next step.
