Backend Rust Developer
About this role
About the Role What if your deep expertise in Rust could directly shape how AI understands and generates systems-level code for developers around the world? We're looking for experienced Rust developers to evaluate AI-generated code, challenge its limits, and help build smarter, safer AI systems from the ground up. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for seasoned systems programmers who know what good Rust looks like — and exactly when it falls short. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Review AI-generated Rust code for correctness, memory safety, and ownership pattern compliance - Design and write high-performance systems-level code to benchmark AI understanding of low-level constraints - Evaluate concurrent programming logic and identify potential race conditions or undefined behavior in AI outputs - Assess AI responses for type safety, scientific rigor, and adherence to idiomatic Rust - Provide clear, structured feedback that helps AI models improve at the systems programming level - 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 - Deep understanding of Rust's ownership model, lifetimes, and concurrency primitives - Able to clearly explain complex low-level programming concepts in writing - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field - Fluent in English — you communicate technical ideas with precision and clarity Nice to Have - Experience with distributed systems architecture or developer tooling - Familiarity with unsafe Rust and the trade-offs involved - Background in compiler design, embedded systems, or OS-level programming - Prior exposure to AI code generation tools or code review workflows Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work - Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and generates systems-level code - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
