“Lupa has been an exceptional partner this year, deeply committed to understanding our unique needs and staying flexible to support us. We're excited to continue our collaboration into 2025.”
"What I love about Lupa is their approach to sharing small, carefully selected batches of candidates. They focus on sending only the three most qualified individuals, which has already helped us successfully fill 7 roles.”

Top Rust Developer Interview Questions
Essential questions for evaluating Rust Developers
Can you explain Rust's ownership model and how it ensures memory safety?
Look for candidates who can clearly articulate how Rust's ownership rules, borrowing, and lifetimes work together to ensure that memory issues common in other languages, like use-after-free or double freeing, are avoided.
How do you handle concurrency in Rust, and what are the advantages?
Expect candidates to discuss Rust’s ownership model in ensuring safe concurrency, mentioning tools like threads, async/await, and channels, and how these lead to efficient and safe multi-threaded code.
Can you explain the difference between 'unwrap' and the use of the '?' operator in Rust?
Seek responses that illustrate understanding of error handling in Rust, where 'unwrap' is a straightforward but risky option, and '?' offers a more idiomatic and safer method of propagating errors.
What libraries or frameworks have you used for web development with Rust?
Look for familiarity with libraries like Actix, Rocket, or Warp. Candidates should articulate reasons for their library preferences, indicating practical experience with Rust in web applications.
How do you optimize performance in Rust applications?
Expect candidates to discuss profiling tools and techniques such as cargo profiler, memory optimization, leveraging Rust's zero-cost abstractions, and writing idiomatic Rust for performance gains.
Can you describe a challenging problem you solved using Rust?
Listen for a candidate who can clearly articulate the problem, their thought process in addressing it, and specific features of Rust that helped them find a solution. This indicates strong problem-solving skills and a practical understanding of the language.
How do you approach learning new technologies when faced with a Rust project challenge?
Look for candidates who demonstrate a proactive approach to learning and adaptability. They should describe specific strategies, such as utilizing online resources, documentation, or seeking mentorship, that help them solve problems efficiently.
Can you give an example of optimizing Rust code for performance?
Seek candidates who can provide concrete examples of how they identified bottlenecks and used Rust’s features, like concurrency or memory safety, to optimize code. This shows their ability to critically assess and enhance code performance.
How would you handle a situation where a Rust library you depend on is not behaving as expected?
Look for problem-solving through clear communication, such as contacting the maintainers, searching for bug reports, or contributing a fix. A good answer demonstrates resilience and resourcefulness in overcoming obstacles.
Describe a time when you had to debug a complex issue in a Rust application. What was your process?
Candidates should discuss a systematic approach to debugging, such as narrowing down the problem, using Rust’s debugging tools, and their ability to hypothesize and test solutions. This indicates effective troubleshooting skills.
Describe a time when you had to communicate a complex technical concept to a non-technical audience. How did you ensure they understood?
The candidate should demonstrate clarity and patience in their explanation. Look for a structured approach to simplifying complex ideas and an ability to gauge the audience’s understanding, possibly by asking follow-up questions or checking for feedback.
Can you give an example of a conflict you faced within a team and how you resolved it?
Pay attention to the candidate’s problem-solving skills and ability to address issues calmly and constructively. They should show empathy and the capability to listen actively, promoting a harmonious team environment.
Discuss a situation where you took the lead on a project. What was your approach, and what was the outcome?
Evaluate the candidate’s leadership style and effectiveness. You should see an ability to inspire and motivate, a clear vision, and an understanding of how to leverage team strengths to achieve project goals successfully.
How do you handle stress and tight deadlines, especially when multiple projects are at stake?
The candidate should mention strategies such as prioritization, time management, and self-care. They may also talk about maintaining open communication with the team to manage expectations and reduce stress.
Tell us about a time when you received constructive criticism. How did you handle it, and what was the result?
