TypeScript + Rust Developer
Listing checked September 1, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
This role invites an experienced TypeScript and Rust developer to contribute directly to the training of next-generation AI systems. You'll bring your deep coding expertise to bear on real-world problems, helping shape how language models learn and reason — without needing a background in AI yourself. You'll join a remote team that values clean code, clear communication, and thoughtful problem-solving.
What You'll Do7
- 1Work closely with product and engineering teams to build reliable, scalable solutions using TypeScript and Rust.
- 2Lead or contribute to large-scale codebase migrations and rewrites between the two language ecosystems.
- 3Generate and refine high-quality human-annotated data used to train and evaluate AI models.
- 4Adhere to strong software engineering practices: thorough code reviews, automated testing, and clear documentation.
- 5Clearly explain technical decisions and trade-offs to both technical teammates and non-technical stakeholders.
- 6Diagnose performance issues and optimize codebases in TypeScript and Rust environments.
- 7Maintain at least six hours of daily schedule overlap with Eastern Time to stay aligned with the team.
Requirements6
- 1At least five years of professional software development experience, shipping production code that others rely on.
- 2Native-level fluency in both TypeScript and Rust, proven through hands-on projects and day-to-day coding.
- 3A solid track record of migrating or rewriting code across language boundaries, or working effectively in polyglot environments.
- 4Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to make complex topics accessible.
- 5Experience creating or working with human-labeled datasets, ideally for machine learning or AI applications.
- 6Comfortable working autonomously and collaboratively in a fully remote, globally distributed team.
Who Should Apply
We're looking for a seasoned engineer who thrives at the intersection of TypeScript and Rust, enjoys the challenge of bridging ecosystems, and is eager to apply their craft to improve AI training. You're someone who writes code that's both idiomatic and maintainable, and you take pride in clear documentation and thoughtful refactoring. Experience with AI/ML data pipelines or open-source contributions in either language is a plus, but not required — what matters most is your engineering skill and your ability to communicate clearly.
