What if your Rust expertise could directly shape the infrastructure powering the next generation of AI? We're looking for a senior Rust engineer to design and build the high-performance data pipelines, annotation tooling, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on to train and improve their models.

This is a fully remote contract role working on real production systems - not toy problems or throwaway scripts. If you care deeply about performance, safety, and correctness, and you want your work to have meaningful impact at the frontier of AI development, this is the role for you.

Who You Are
  • Native or fluent English speaker with strong written and verbal communication skills
  • 3-5+ years of professional experience writing production Rust

  • Experienced building I/O-bound data pipelines with robust retry and backoff logic for production environments
  • Able to commit 20-40 hours per week with reliability and consistency
  • Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously across distributed teams

  • Fully remote and flexible - work when and where you do your best work
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact engineering work
  • Contribute directly to systems that shape how the next generation of AI models are built and evaluated
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
