Rust Developer

Rust Developer (AI Training)
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

• Commitment : 10–40 hours/week

• 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

• 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

• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without close supervision

• 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

• Experience contributing to open-source Rust projects

• 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
