Rust Backend Architect – AI Training Projects

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

📋 Description

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

• Convert functional requirements, performance objectives, and failure-handling expectations into replicable 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 behaviors, edge cases, failure scenarios, and system reliability.

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

• Assess asynchronous and concurrent systems, including race conditions, resource contention, and performance bottlenecks.

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

• Ensure output quality while adhering to weekly submission expectations and project timelines.

⛳️ Requirements
