Rust Developer
About this role
About the Role What if your deep expertise in Rust could directly influence how AI writes and understands systems-level code for millions of developers worldwide? We're looking for experienced Rust developers to evaluate, critique, and help improve AI-generated systems code — ensuring it meets the rigorous standards of memory safety, concurrency, and performance that Rust was built for. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for seasoned Rust engineers who want to do meaningful, intellectually engaging work on their own schedule. Training and onboarding support will be provided. - 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 optimization - Design, build, and optimize high-performance systems in Rust to support AI evaluation workflows - Develop backend services and tooling for large-scale data validation and quality control - Identify bottlenecks, edge cases, and subtle bugs in system behavior and propose scalable, idiomatic fixes - Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI models produce better, safer, and more performant Rust code - Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are - 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade Rust with a focus on memory safety and concurrency - Strong background in systems programming and performance optimization - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field - Able to clearly explain complex low-level programming concepts in plain English - Detail-oriented and methodical — you spot the subtle issues others miss - Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without close supervision Nice to Have - Experience with distributed systems architecture or developer tooling - Familiarity with AI code generation tools or LLM evaluation workflows - Background in compiler design, OS internals, or embedded systems - Experience contributing to open-source Rust projects Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work - Apply your Rust expertise to a problem that genuinely matters — shaping how AI understands and generates systems-level code - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
