About this job

This contract role centres on designing, building and tuning high-performance Rust systems that support AI data pipelines, evaluation workflows and annotation tooling. It suits senior Rust engineers who write safe, performant and correct code at scale and can work independently in an asynchronous setting. The resulting infrastructure feeds model training and evaluation work for research teams.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize high-performance Rust systems for AI data pipelines and evaluation workflows.
  • Build backend services and tooling for large-scale data annotation, validation and quality control.
  • Improve reliability, performance and safety across existing Rust codebases.
  • Identify bottlenecks and edge cases in distributed system behavior and implement scalable fixes.
