Job Description


Senior Rust Engineer โ€” AI Data Infrastructure

About The Role

What if your mastery of Rust could directly shape the infrastructure that powers the world's most advanced AI systems? We're looking for a Senior Rust Full-Stack Engineer to build, optimize, and scale the data pipelines, annotation tooling, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on โ€” every single day.

This is a fully remote contract role for engineers who think deeply about performance, care about correctness, and want their work to matter at scale.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 20โ€“40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design and build high-performance, production-grade systems in Rust that underpin AI data pipelines and evaluation workflows
  • Develop full-stack tooling and backend services for large-scale data annotation, validation, and quality control
  • Identify and eliminate bottlenecks โ€” from memory layout issues to concurrency inefficiencies โ€” and implement scalable, lasting fixes
  • Improve reliability, safety, and performance across existing Rust codebases
  • Collaborate closely with data, research, and engineering teams to support model training and evaluation at scale
  • Participate in synchronous design reviews and iterate on system architecture with sharp, opinionated engineers

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of professional experience writing production Rust โ€” this is not a learning opportunity, it's a mastery showcase
  • Deep expertise in data parallelism and concurrency patterns to maximize CPU saturation
  • Thorough understanding of memory layout, SIMD optimizations, and heap allocation minimization โ€” you find and fix performance issues others miss
  • Native or fluent English speaker with clear, precise written and verbal communication
  • Able to commit 20โ€“40 hours per week with consistency and professionalism
  • Self-directed and dependable โ€” you deliver without hand-holding

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality pipelines, or AI evaluation systems
  • Familiarity with AI/ML workflows, model training pipelines, or benchmarking infrastructure
  • Experience with distributed systems or developer tooling at scale

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with leading AI research labs on systems that matter in production โ€” not toy projects
  • Fully remote and async-friendly โ€” work from wherever you do your best thinking
  • High-autonomy contract work with the depth and challenge of a senior engineering role
  • Collaborate with a technically sharp, mission-driven team pushing the frontier of AI infrastructure
  • Ongoing work and contract extension available as projects grow and new ones launch
