About the Role
What if your technical expertise could directly shape how the next generation of AI systems reason, plan, and solve real-world problems? We're looking for Machine Learning Engineers to help train advanced large language models — not by writing model code, but by doing something arguably more impactful: showing AI how to think.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for technically sharp people who can break down complex problems into clear, structured reasoning. You'll be creating the training data that teaches AI models to plan, use tools, and make better decisions — work that sits at the very frontier of applied AI research.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Author detailed, structured reasoning traces that document how an expert would approach and solve complex technical tasks
- Capture step-by-step planning, tool use, and decision-making in a clear, reproducible format
- Produce high-quality training data that teaches LLMs to reason reliably in real-world scenarios
- Evaluate and refine AI decision-making workflows for logical consistency and accuracy
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Background in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a closely related technical field
- Able to articulate complex logical and technical reasoning clearly in writing
- Analytically sharp — you can evaluate a multi-step problem and identify where reasoning breaks down
- Detail-oriented and methodical in how you approach structured tasks
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data labeling, or AI evaluation systems
- Familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI training workflows
- Background in software engineering, ML research, or technical writing
- Experience designing or evaluating AI reasoning pipelines
Why Join Us
- Work directly with teams building some of the world's most advanced AI models
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact technical work
- Gain rare, hands-on insight into how frontier LLMs are trained and evaluated
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
