Backend Rust Developer

Alignerr

Backend Rust Developer

What if your deep knowledge of Rust — memory safety, ownership semantics, concurrency — could directly shape how AI understands and generates systems-level code for developers worldwide?

We're looking for experienced Rust engineers to evaluate AI-generated code, stress-test its correctness, and help train the next generation of AI models to think like expert systems programmers. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior engineers who want to do meaningful work on their own schedule.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
  • Review AI-generated Rust code for memory safety, ownership correctness, and idiomatic patterns
  • Design challenging systems-level problems to probe the model's understanding of low-level constraints
  • Evaluate concurrent programming logic and identify potential race conditions or undefined behavior in AI outputs
  • Assess performance optimization strategies and flag inefficiencies in AI-generated solutions
  • Ensure type-safety and scientific rigor across all code evaluation tasks
  • Provide structured, expert-level feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about Rust and systems programming
Who You Are
  • 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade Rust
  • Deep understanding of memory safety, ownership, borrowing, and lifetime semantics
  • Strong background in systems programming — you think in terms of performance, safety, and correctness
  • Experienced with concurrency patterns and comfortable spotting subtle race conditions
  • Able to clearly articulate complex low-level concepts in written English
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field
Nice to Have
  • Experience with distributed systems, embedded systems, or developer tooling
  • Familiarity with unsafe Rust and the constraints around its correct use
  • Background in compiler internals, OS development, or performance profiling
  • Prior exposure to AI code evaluation or technical content review
Why Join Us
  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — take on as many or as few hours as suits your schedule
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Make a direct, expert-level impact on how AI understands one of the most demanding programming languages in the world
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
