Backend Rust Developer (AI Training)
About the Role
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
