About the Role
What if your deep technical expertise 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 and improve large language models by demonstrating how expert-level thinking actually works — step by step, tool by tool, decision by decision.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experienced technical professionals who know how to break down complex problems and explain their reasoning with precision.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Construct detailed, structured reasoning logs that walk through how sophisticated technical problems are approached and solved
- Document sequential decision-making workflows — capturing how tools are selected, applied, and evaluated at each step
- Generate high-quality training datasets that demonstrate proficient, expert-level problem-solving for AI models
- Audit and refine AI-generated reasoning traces to ensure logical consistency and technical accuracy
- Translate complex methodologies into clearly articulated, reproducible workflows
Who You Are
- Professionally experienced in Machine Learning, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Exceptionally clear at explaining intricate technical processes — you can make complex reasoning legible
- A rigorous critical thinker who can identify gaps, errors, or inefficiencies in AI-generated reasoning
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
- Holds or is pursuing a Master's Degree or PhD in a relevant field
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation systems
- Familiarity with LLM behavior, prompt engineering, or model evaluation methodologies
- Background in technical writing, research documentation, or structured problem-solving frameworks
- Experience working across multiple ML domains — NLP, computer vision, reinforcement learning, etc.
Why Join Us
- Work directly with leading AI research labs on projects at the frontier of model development
- Fully remote and async — work when and where it suits you, with no fixed hours
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
- Gain rare, hands-on insight into how cutting-edge LLMs are trained and improved
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
