Job description
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
What You'll Do
- 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
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
- 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
Nice to Have
- 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
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
- 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
