Rust for Systems Programming and Cloud Infrastructure
Build memory-safe, high-performance systems and infrastructure tools with Rust.
About This Assessment
Rust has reached critical mass in 2026 with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Linux kernel adoption, yet remains the 9th consecutive year as most admired language with only 2.2M developers globally. Enterprise demand for Rust engineers far exceeds supply as companies rebuild critical infrastructure for memory safety. With major initiatives like Windows components, Android, AWS Firecracker, and cloud-native tools written in Rust, organizations desperately need talent who can actually write production Rust code beyond basic tutorials.
What Candidates Will Do
Build CLI tool in Rust with argument parsing, error handling, and file I/O
Implement concurrent data processing pipeline using Rust async/await and tokio
Create HTTP service with actix-web including routing, middleware, and JSON handling
Write Rust tests with unit tests, integration tests, and property-based testing
Automated Grading
Verify CLI tool compiles without warnings, handles errors gracefully with Result types, concurrent pipeline processes data without data races, HTTP service responds correctly to requests with proper error codes, all tests pass including edge cases, and code demonstrates ownership, borrowing, and lifetime principles correctly.
Environment
Ubuntu 22.04 VM with Rust 1.75+ toolchain (rustc, cargo, clippy, rustfmt), VS Code with rust-analyzer, common crates pre-cached (tokio, actix-web, serde, clap)
