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
