About the Role
What if your Ruby expertise could directly influence how AI writes, reviews, and reasons about production-grade software — for millions of developers around the world?
We're looking for experienced Ruby Software Engineers to help evaluate and improve AI-generated code, design realistic engineering scenarios, and contribute to the datasets that train the next generation of AI coding tools. Your real-world backend knowledge will shape how AI thinks about Ruby — from API design to system architecture.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built around your schedule. No AI background required — just strong Ruby skills and a sharp engineering mind.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract / Task-based
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Review and evaluate AI-generated Ruby code for correctness, performance, and maintainability
- Develop and refine backend services and APIs as part of realistic engineering tasks
- Identify bugs, edge cases, and architectural issues in AI-produced code and provide detailed, structured feedback
- Help create and validate technical datasets by working through real-world software engineering scenarios
- Collaborate asynchronously with researchers and engineers to support AI training and evaluation efforts
- Clearly articulate your technical reasoning and decision-making in written evaluations
Who You Are
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in Ruby and backend development — you're comfortable in production codebases
- Solid understanding of APIs, data-driven systems, and software design principles
- Naturally detail-oriented with an analytical, methodical approach to problem-solving
- Able to explain technical decisions clearly and concisely in writing
- No prior AI or machine learning experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with Ruby on Rails or other Ruby-based frameworks
- Background in code review, technical writing, or engineering mentorship
- Familiarity with testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or system design patterns
- Exposure to data engineering, ML infrastructure, or AI tooling
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and writes Ruby code
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
