Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

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

Key Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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 research labs and AI teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, technically rigorous 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
• Training and onboarding support provided — hit the ground running
