About the role
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 based in or around New York City 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: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Write, debug, and optimize code across a range of languages, frameworks, and problem domainsReview and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, readability, and best practicesIdentify bugs, logic errors, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI outputsProvide structured, detailed feedback explaining why code works — or doesn'tDesign challenging coding prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test AI capabilitiesCompare and rank multiple AI-generated solutions based on engineering qualityWork 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 principlesAble to read, write, and reason about code with clarity and precisionStrong problem-solving instincts and a systematic debugging approachClear written communicator — you can explain technical decisions in plain languageSelf-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervisionBachelor'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 engineeringBackground in code review, technical writing, or mentoring junior developersExperience with cloud platforms, DevOps, or distributed systemsCompetitive programming, open-source contributions, or side projects that demonstrate your craftAdvanced degree in Computer Science or related discipline Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labsFully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhereFreelance autonomy with intellectually stimulating, high-impact workDirectly influence how AI writes, understands, and reasons about codeSharpen your own engineering skills by evaluating diverse problems dailyPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
