Software Engineer (AI Training)

About the Role

Alignerr is seeking Software Engineers to build, evaluate, and improve AI-generated code, helping train AI systems to think like real developers. This is a fully remote, flexible hourly contract role requiring 10–40 hours/week.

What You'll Do

• Write, debug, and optimize code across a range of languages, frameworks, and problem domains.
• Review and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, readability, and best practices.
• Identify bugs, logic errors, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI outputs.
• Provide structured, detailed feedback explaining why code works or doesn't.
• Design challenging coding prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test AI capabilities.
• Compare and rank multiple AI-generated solutions based on engineering quality.
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Proficient in one or more programming languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, TypeScript, or similar.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Able to read, write, and reason about code with clarity and precision.
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a systematic debugging approach.
• Clear written communicator — ability to explain technical decisions in plain language.
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience across multiple languages or tech stacks (full-stack, backend, systems, data engineering).
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, LLMs, or prompt engineering.
• Background in code review, technical writing, or mentoring junior developers.
• Experience with cloud platforms, DevOps, or distributed systems.
• Competitive programming, open-source contributions, or side projects.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
