AlignerrCoding & software eval
Backend Rust Developer
up to $90/hr
About this role, in Alignerr's words
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.
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
Show all 6 itemsHide the other 3 in What you'll do
- 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
Candidate background
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
