RustJobs.dev × RustWeek 2026

Proud sponsor of RustWeek 2026

RustWeek is the largest gathering of the Rust community in Europe, organized by RustNL. RustJobs.dev is backing the 2026 edition because it brings together exactly the people we work with every day: Rust engineers, the companies hiring them, and the maintainers shaping where the language is headed.

You'll find us at the conference and on the Industry Track. If you're attending and want to talk hiring, compensation, or building a Rust team, come say hello.

Hosting the "Hiring Rust Engineers" Expert Table

The RustWeek Industry Track is a one-day program (May 19, 2026) of talks and small-group Expert Tables where attendees sit down with a host and dig into a single topic in depth. Six tables, six topics, one room.

Alex Garella, founder of RustJobs.dev, is hosting the table on hiring Rust engineers. What works, what doesn't, what the market actually looks like in 2026, and how to build a team when the talent pool is small but deep.

Expert Table: Hiring Rust Engineers

Hosted by Alex Garella, Founder of RustJobs.dev

The full Expert Table lineup

Bring your hiring question to the table

The Expert Table format works best when attendees show up with real questions. Here's a sample of what's already on the agenda. If you have one to add, send it through and Alex will work it into the discussion.

• How do you assess Rust skill without giving a take-home?
• Can you realistically hire juniors into a Rust team?
• How do you convince leadership that Rust talent exists?
• What does the Rust hiring market look like in 2026?
• How should compensation compare to C++/Go roles?
• Remote vs. on-site: where is the Rust talent actually?
