Backend Rust Engineer

What You'll Do

• Review AI-generated Rust code for correctness, memory safety, and idiomatic ownership patterns
• Design challenging systems-level problems to probe the limits of AI's understanding of low-level constraints
• Evaluate concurrent programming logic and identify potential race conditions or unsafe patterns in AI outputs
• Assess performance optimization strategies and flag where AI reasoning breaks down
• Ensure scientific rigor and type-safety across all evaluated deliverables
• Provide clear, structured feedback that helps improve AI model behavior at the systems level
• Work independently and asynchronously — on your own schedule

Who You Are

• 5+ years of professional experience writing production Rust with a strong focus on memory safety and concurrency
• Deep familiarity with Rust's ownership model, lifetime system, and type guarantees
• Strong background in systems programming and performance optimization
• Able to clearly articulate complex low-level programming concepts in writing
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field
• Detail-oriented and methodical — you spot what others miss

Nice to Have

• Experience with distributed systems, operating systems, or developer tooling
• Familiarity with unsafe Rust and the tradeoffs involved
• Background in compiler design, embedded systems, or high-performance computing
• Prior exposure to AI code evaluation or technical content review
