Rust Developer

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
