Rust Developer
About this role
About the Role What if your deep knowledge of Rust — memory safety, concurrency, performance — could directly influence how the next generation of AI writes systems-level code? We're looking for experienced Rust developers to work alongside leading AI research teams, evaluating and improving AI-generated Rust code, building high-performance tooling, and helping set the bar for what great systems programming looks like in the age of AI. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You bring the Rust expertise — we handle the rest. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Review and evaluate AI-generated Rust code for memory safety, concurrency correctness, and performance - Design, build, and optimize high-performance systems that support AI evaluation workflows - Develop backend services and tooling for large-scale data validation and quality control - Identify bottlenecks, edge cases, and systemic weaknesses in AI-produced systems code — then document them clearly - Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI models understand and generate Rust - Work independently and asynchronously — on your schedule Who You Are - 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade Rust - Deep understanding of memory safety, ownership, lifetimes, and concurrency primitives - Strong background in systems programming and performance optimization - Able to articulate complex low-level programming concepts clearly in writing - Fluent in English - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field Nice to Have - Experience with distributed systems or developer tooling - Familiarity with AI code generation tools or evaluation workflows - Background in compiler development, embedded systems, or OS-level programming Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, technically challenging work - Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and produces systems-level code - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
