Software Engineer – Python (Advanced)
About The Role
What if your Python expertise could directly influence how AI systems are built, evaluated, and improved for millions of people? We're looking for advanced Python engineers to work on real-world software and data problems — writing production-quality code, solving complex engineering challenges, and helping ensure that AI-driven systems actually work the way they should.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you thrive on technically demanding work and love turning ambiguous problems into elegant solutions, this is built for you.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, and optimize advanced Python code for production-level systems
- Analyze and manipulate structured datasets to support engineering and modeling workflows
- Write and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate data
- Review, debug, and improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainability
- Translate ambiguous, high-level requirements into concrete, well-reasoned technical solutions
- Apply consulting-style problem solving — evaluate tradeoffs and recommend best-fit approaches
- Document assumptions, decisions, and implementation details clearly and precisely
- Evaluate AI-generated code and analytical outputs for correctness and quality
