About the role
Software Engineer – Python (Advanced) About The Role What if your Python expertise could directly influence how AI systems reason about code, data, and complex engineering problems? We're looking for seasoned Python engineers to work on challenging, real-world technical problems that sit at the frontier of AI development — building, evaluating, and improving the software and data workflows that power next-generation AI systems. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who thrive on autonomy, love solving hard problems, and can bring production-level discipline to ambiguous challenges. Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design, implement, and optimize advanced Python code for production-level systems and AI-driven workflowsAnalyze and manipulate structured datasets to support engineering and modeling tasksWrite and optimize complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate dataReview, debug, and improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainabilityTranslate ambiguous, high-level requirements into concrete, well-reasoned technical solutionsEvaluate tradeoffs and recommend best-fit approaches using consulting-style problem solvingDocument assumptions, decisions, and implementation details clearly and preciselyAssess AI-generated code and analytical outputs for correctness and quality Who You Are Must-Have 4+ years of professional software engineering experienceAdvanced proficiency in Python — clean architecture, performance optimization, and debuggingStrong hands-on experience with real-world data analysis and structured datasetsSolid SQL skills, including complex queries, joins, and data validationPrior consulting or client-facing experience, with the ability to reason through open-ended problems independently Nice to Have Experience working with large, messy, or unstructured datasetsFamiliarity with backend systems, REST APIs, or data pipelinesComfort evaluating and critiquing AI-generated code or analytical outputsStrong written communication and meticulous attention to detail Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labsFully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based engineering workApply your deepest technical skills to problems that genuinely matter at scalePotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
