- Strong understanding of Rust’s ownership, borrowing, and lifetime model, with the ability to reason clearly about aliasing and data races.
- Solid software engineering experience in at least one of backend services, command-line tools, or systems programming using Rust.
- Ability to evaluate safe, idiomatic Rust code, including appropriate use of traits, generics, pattern matching, and error handling.
- Significant experience using LLMs or AI coding assistants while programming, combined with a disciplined approach to validating their output.
- Excellent English writing skills, capable of producing precise, structured, and pedagogical technical explanations.
- Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
- Previous experience with AI data training, code review at scale, or evaluation of AI-generated technical content is strongly preferred.
- Minimum C1 English proficiency and an extremely detail-oriented working style are required.
- Highly preferred: experience with Tokio, Actix, Serde, and async Rust patterns in production or advanced side projects.
- Preferred: competitive programming experience, contributions to Rust open-source ecosystems, and demonstrated ability to reason about performance, concurrency, and correctness in Rust code.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts in various topics and responses to guide AI learning, ensuring the models reflect a comprehensive understanding of diverse subjects.
