Would you be open to full remote for the perfect candidate? I worked on cheat detection for chess.com, which I imagine is very similar.

I'm looking for:

  - Rust (I want to escape from C++ jail).
  - A challenge (I'm not growing in my current role).
  - A team that's working on some kind of hard and interesting problem.
I currently work on cheat detection systems and research.

I like:

- making things speedy

- making things type safe

I have experience:

- leading a small team

- working on open-ended research problems

- successfully rewriting a cheat detection system (Perl -> Python), making it 2x faster

- successfully rewriting a research system (Python -> Python), making it 150x faster

- creating core Python libraries for various projects at <company>

Please be up-front about salary. I have a high velocity, and I'm looking for commensurate pay.
