Software Developer — Build Your Own Project with an AI Coding Assistant
About The Role
What if you could get paid to work on the project you've been meaning to build — with a state-of-the-art AI coding assistant at your side, completely free of charge?
We're looking for software developers in the London area to bring their own projects and build them using an AI-powered coding assistant. You write real code on real projects you care about. We learn from your expert judgment on how the assistant performed. You keep full ownership of everything you build.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for developers who want to ship their own work — and get compensated for it.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Fully Remote
Commitment: Flexible
What You'll Do
- Bring a software project you personally own — a side project, a tool, an open-source library, or something you've been meaning to finish
- Build features, fix bugs, refactor code, write docs, or do whatever your project needs — using an AI coding assistant
- At each step, compare two versions of the assistant's response, choose the better one, and write a brief explanation of your reasoning
- Work in your own environment, on your own schedule, with your own tools
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who You Are
- A developer with a software project you personally own, stored in a git repository
- Comfortable working in the terminal and with git-based workflows
- Running macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2
- Able to write clear, honest evaluations — you'll explain your choices in a few sentences
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- Open-source maintainers are especially welcome
What's Eligible
- Software projects that you personally and solely own
- Open-source projects with an approved license
- If your project has other maintainers, mention it in your application — we'll confirm eligibility
What's Not Eligible
- Work owned by an employer, client, university, company, or startup
- Projects under NDA
- AI model training or evaluation projects; ML infrastructure
- Security exploit tooling
- Projects that process other people's personal data

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Good to Know
- Before starting, you'll sign short contributor terms and we'll approve your project
- Transcripts of your coding sessions are used to improve AI models and cannot be withdrawn after submission — this covers sessions only, not the rest of your codebase
- Your ratings and written feedback become part of the project's deliverables
- During sessions: no passwords, API keys, or other people's personal data — and you write your ratings yourself, without AI help
Why You'll Love This
- Your project, your code — you keep full ownership of everything, including code the assistant writes for you
- Free AI tokens — your AI usage during sessions is fully covered, no subscription or API bill needed
- Paid to build what you'd build anyway — real compensation for real development work on your own project
- Fully remote and flexible — work from your own computer, on your own schedule
- Shape the future of AI-assisted coding — your expert judgment directly improves the next generation of developer tools
- Spots are limited — the first cohort is small and starting soon
