Rust Engineer

Rust Engineer (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your deep knowledge of Rust — memory safety, concurrency, systems performance — could directly influence how the next generation of AI understands and writes systems-level code?

We're looking for experienced Rust engineers to work alongside leading AI research teams, evaluating and improving AI-generated Rust code, building high-performance tooling, and helping ensure that AI systems produce code that's safe, correct, and production-ready.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior engineers who want meaningful, technically stimulating work on their own schedule.

• 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 quality
• Design, build, and optimize high-performance Rust systems that support AI evaluation workflows
• Develop backend services and tooling for large-scale data validation and quality control
• Identify performance bottlenecks, edge cases, and system-level failure modes — then implement scalable, robust fixes
• Provide clear, structured technical feedback that helps AI models learn to write better Rust

Who You Are

• 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade Rust with a strong focus on memory safety and concurrency
• Deep background in systems programming and performance optimization
• Able to think clearly about low-level system behavior and articulate complex concepts in plain language
• Fluent in English with strong written communication skills
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously without close supervision

Nice to Have

• Experience with distributed systems architecture
• Background in developer tooling, compilers, or runtime systems
• Prior exposure to AI-generated code evaluation or code review at scale
• Familiarity with formal approaches to correctness or safety in systems design

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, technically rich work
• Apply your Rust expertise to a domain where it genuinely matters — AI that writes safe, performant systems code
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
