Rust Engineer
About this role
About the Role What if your deep expertise in Rust could directly shape how AI writes and reasons about systems-level code? We're looking for experienced Rust engineers to review, evaluate, and improve AI-generated Rust code — helping ensure the next generation of AI understands memory safety, concurrency, and performance at an expert level. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior Rust developers who want meaningful, intellectually engaging 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 correctness, memory safety, concurrency, and performance - 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 system-level failure modes — and implement scalable fixes - Provide structured, expert feedback on AI outputs across a range of systems programming challenges - 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 - Able to spot subtle bugs, unsafe patterns, and inefficient designs that AI might miss - Fluent in English with the ability to explain complex low-level programming concepts clearly and precisely - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field - Self-motivated and consistent when working independently Nice to Have - Experience with distributed systems architecture or developer tooling - Familiarity with AI code generation tools or evaluation workflows - Background in embedded systems, OS development, or compiler engineering - Prior experience in technical writing, code review, or mentoring 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 - 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
