Rust Developer

Alignerr
Seattle, WA Contractor
POSTED ON 4/14/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/11/2026
Rust Developer (AI Training)

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
