Rust Engineer

About the role

What if your deep expertise in Rust could directly shape how AI writes and reasons about systems-level code? We're looking for experienced Rust engineers to review, evaluate, and improve AI-generated Rust code — helping ensure the next generation of AI understands memory safety, concurrency, and performance at an expert level. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior Rust developers who want meaningful, intellectually engaging work on their own schedule.

Responsibilities

• Review and evaluate AI-generated Rust code for correctness, memory safety, concurrency, and performance
• 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 system-level failure modes — and implement scalable fixes
• Provide structured, expert feedback on AI outputs across a range of systems programming challenges
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Requirements

• 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
• Able to spot subtle bugs, unsafe patterns, and inefficient designs that AI might miss
• Fluent in English with the ability to explain complex low-level programming concepts clearly and precisely
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field
• Self-motivated and consistent when working independently

Skills

• Experience with distributed systems architecture or developer tooling (nice to have)
• Familiarity with AI code generation tools or evaluation workflows (nice to have)
• Background in embedded systems, OS development, or compiler engineering (nice to have)
• Prior experience in technical writing, code review, or mentoring (nice to have)

Benefits

• 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
• 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

Schedule

Commitment: 10–40 hours per week (hourly contract, fully remote).
