Rust Engineer
About this role
About the Role What if your deep knowledge of Rust — memory safety, concurrency, systems performance — could directly influence how the next generation of AI understands and writes systems-level code? We're looking for experienced Rust engineers to work alongside leading AI research teams, evaluating and improving AI-generated Rust code, building high-performance tooling, and helping ensure that AI systems produce code that's safe, correct, and production-ready. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior engineers who want meaningful, technically stimulating work on their own schedule. - 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 quality - Design, build, and optimize high-performance Rust systems that support AI evaluation workflows - Develop backend services and tooling for large-scale data validation and quality control - Identify performance bottlenecks, edge cases, and system-level failure modes — then implement scalable, robust fixes - Provide clear, structured technical feedback that helps AI models learn to write better Rust Who You Are - 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade Rust with a strong focus on memory safety and concurrency - Deep background in systems programming and performance optimization - Able to think clearly about low-level system behavior and articulate complex concepts in plain language - Fluent in English with strong written communication skills - Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously without close supervision Nice to Have - Experience with distributed systems architecture - Background in developer tooling, compilers, or runtime systems - Prior exposure to AI-generated code evaluation or code review at scale - Familiarity with formal approaches to correctness or safety in systems design 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 rich work - Apply your Rust expertise to a domain where it genuinely matters — AI that writes safe, performant systems code - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
