SWE Bench Engineer – Rust

On Turing

$15/task

A short contract building benchmark material for coding models: you triage issues in open-source Rust projects, set up and containerize repositories, judge test coverage and run the code to see how well LLMs fix bugs. It suits senior Rust engineers who know open-source codebases well.

01 · The role

What you would do

  • Triage GitHub issues in popular open-source libraries
  • Set up and containerize code repositories with Docker so they build and run
  • Assess how well each project's unit tests cover the code, and how good the tests are

What they ask for

  • At least three years of experience, at a tech-lead level
  • Strong Rust skills
  • Working knowledge of Git, Docker and setting up basic build pipelines
  • The ability to find your way around large codebases and to run, change and test real projects locally
  • Availability for 40 hours a week with 4 hours of overlap with US Pacific time
  • Pass Turing's assessment-based review, about 75 minutes

Helpful, not required

  • Contributions to, or reviews of, open-source projects
  • Earlier work on LLM research or evaluation projects
  • Experience building or testing developer tools or automation agents
  • Rust
  • Docker
  • Git

That is as far as the listing and Turing's country rules show: the listing has the last word, and rules change. Turing in Africa

Apply from where you live, as yourself. Using a VPN or someone else's identity to get around a country rule breaks these platforms' terms, and it is the quickest way to lose an account and any unpaid earnings.

About this listing

We last confirmed this opening on Nov 3, 2026. Rates and hours come from the listing unless the note beside the rate says otherwise. Where the listing names no countries, the Africa status is our reading of it and of what is known of Turing's country rules, set out on its profile, and never marks a role more open than they show. The listing itself has the final word.
