DESCRIPTION

# Software Engineer (AI Training) ## About the Role What if the code you write could directly shape how the next generation of AI understands and generates software? We're looking for Software Engineers in the Raleigh-Durham area to build, evaluate, and improve AI-generated code — helping train AI systems to think like real developers. You'll write solutions, review AI outputs, and provide the expert-level feedback that makes AI coding assistants smarter, safer, and more reliable. This is hands-on engineering work at the frontier of AI development — not theoretical, not bureaucratic, and not boring. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you can write clean code and explain your reasoning, we want to hear from you. - **Organization**: Alignerr - **Type**: Hourly Contract - **Location**: Remote - **Commitment**: 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 — fully on your own schedule --- ## Who You Are * 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 — you can 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 that demonstrate your craft * Advanced degree in Computer Science or related discipline --- ## Why Join Us * Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs * Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhere * Freelance autonomy with intellectually stimulating, high-impact work * Directly influence how AI writes, understands, and reasons about code * Sharpen your own engineering skills by evaluating diverse problems daily * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
