Job descriptionSoftware Engineer – YAML Experience (AI Training) What if your deep understanding of configuration, structured data, and system logic could directly influence how AI reasons about software infrastructure for engineers worldwide? We're looking for detail‑oriented Software Engineers with hands‑on YAML experience to review, author, and evaluate configuration-driven workflows — helping ensure AI‑generated outputs are precise, well‑structured, and production‑ready.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who love working close to the metal — schemas, pipelines, configuration files, and the logic that holds systems together.
Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
Type: Hourly Contract / Task-Based
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You’ll Do
Author, review, and evaluate YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitions
Assess AI‑generated YAML for structural accuracy, schema compliance, and logical consistency
Identify formatting issues, edge cases, and subtle errors that could impact downstream systems
Collaborate with engineers and researchers to support reliable system behavior and data quality
Apply rigorous attention to detail across a variety of configuration‑driven tasks and workflows
Complete task‑based assignments independently on your own schedule
Who You Are
1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
Comfortable working with YAML in real‑world production or data‑driven environments
Highly detail‑oriented — you catch the subtle inconsistencies others miss
Familiar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes
Self‑motivated and able to follow precise technical requirements independently
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 engineering
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 generates software configuration
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
