Backend Rust Developer

Alignerr

Backend Rust Developer

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
