About the Role
What if your expertise in machine learning could directly shape how the next generation of AI models reason, plan, and solve real-world problems? We're looking for Machine Learning Engineers to help train cutting-edge AI by demonstrating how expert technical minds actually think — step by step, tool by tool, decision by decision.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced ML and engineering professionals who want to put their deep technical knowledge to work at the frontier of AI development.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Construct precise, well-structured reasoning logs that walk through sophisticated technical problems from start to finish
- Document sequential decision-making workflows — how you strategize, select tools, and adapt your approach
- Generate high-quality training data that shows AI models what expert-level problem-solving actually looks like
- Audit and refine AI-generated reasoning chains to identify gaps, errors, or logical inconsistencies
- Demonstrate proficient tool use across complex ML and engineering scenarios
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Professional background in Machine Learning, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline
- Exceptional ability to articulate complex reasoning and methodologies in a clear, structured way
- Strong critical thinking skills — you can evaluate a line of logic and spot exactly where it goes wrong
- Comfortable working independently on intellectually demanding, task-based assignments
- Master's Degree or PhD in a relevant technical field
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) and how they're trained or fine-tuned
- Background in technical writing, documentation, or instructional design
- Experience working across multiple ML frameworks or toolchains
Why Join Us
- Work directly with leading AI research labs on genuinely cutting-edge projects
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact technical work
- Rare inside access to how frontier LLMs are built and trained
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
