About the Role
What if your precision with YAML and configuration systems could directly influence how AI understands and generates code for developers around the world? We're looking for detail-oriented Software Engineers to evaluate, author, and improve YAML-based configurations and structured workflows — helping ensure that AI-generated technical content is accurate, reliable, and production-ready.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who love working close to the metal — schemas, pipelines, system logic, and the satisfaction of catching what others miss.
- Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Author, review, and maintain YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitions
- Evaluate AI-generated YAML and structured configurations for accuracy, consistency, and schema compliance
- Identify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases that could break downstream systems
- Apply rigorous attention to detail to catch subtle errors before they cause real-world impact
- Collaborate asynchronously with engineers and researchers to support data quality and reliable system behavior
- Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule
Who You Are
- 1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
- Hands-on experience working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments
- Exceptionally detail-oriented — you catch the subtle inconsistencies that others overlook
- Comfortable with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes
- Self-motivated and able to follow precise technical requirements without hand-holding
Nice to Have
- Experience with configuration-driven systems, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure tooling
- Exposure to schema validation, linting, or structured data formats such as JSON or XML
- Prior experience supporting AI, data, or automation workflows
- Background in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability
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 engineering work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and produces technical configurations
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
