Rust Backend Architect – AI Training Projects

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Address and validate backend engineering challenges in Rust, focusing on APIs, service functionality, data persistence, concurrency, performance, and reliability.

• Convert functional specifications, performance benchmarks, and failure-handling expectations into reproducible implementation and testing processes.

• Design, review, and evaluate backend architectures for accuracy, scalability, maintainability, and readiness for production.

• Set up Rust crate workspaces, configuration files, test fixtures, dependency services, databases, and containerized development environments.

• Create and validate test cases that encompass expected behavior, edge cases, failure scenarios, and overall system reliability.

• Troubleshoot intricate backend issues and pinpoint weaknesses in implementation, architecture, or system design.

• Analyze asynchronous and concurrent systems, focusing on race conditions, resource contention, and performance bottlenecks.

• Generate technical documentation and implementation artifacts that aid in AI training and evaluation.

• Ensure quality output while adhering to weekly submission deadlines and project milestones.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive hands-on expertise in Rust, proven through significant professional, research, or open-source software development experience.

• Deep understanding of backend service architecture, APIs, data persistence, and production-level software design.

• Practical experience with asynchronous programming, concurrency, error management, and performance enhancement in Rust.

• Proven track record in analyzing and resolving complex issues related to backend correctness, scalability, reliability, or performance.

• Capability to translate technical requirements into functional implementations, reproducible tests, and verifiable results.

• Familiarity with Rust workspaces, dependency management, testing environments, and backend development tools.

• Strong skills in debugging, analytical reasoning, and technical problem-solving.

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to articulate architectural decisions and technical insights.

• Commitment to contribute approximately 15 hours per week, meeting the project's minimum weekly task requirements.

• Readiness to start work within 24 to 48 hours following the completion of onboarding.

• Proficient in both written and verbal English.

🏝️ Benefits

• Opportunity to work on challenging backend engineering problems in a dynamic environment.

• Collaborate with a team of skilled professionals and contribute to innovative projects.

• Flexible work hours that allow for a healthy work-life balance.
