Software Engineer - YAML Experience

**About The Role** **Software Engineer – YAML Experience (AI Training)** What if your precision with YAML and configuration systems could directly influence how AI understands and generates structured code for engineers around the world? We're looking for detail-oriented Software Engineers to review, author, and evaluate YAML configurations — helping ensure AI-generated outputs are accurate, well-structured, and production-ready. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you're an engineer who thrives in the details — spotting subtle inconsistencies, enforcing schema compliance, and thinking carefully about system logic — this role is built for you. * Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox) * Type: Hourly Contract * 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 outputs 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 meticulous attention to detail to catch problems before they propagate * Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule **Who You Are** * 1\+ year of professional Software Engineering experience * Hands-on experience working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments * Naturally detail-oriented — you catch what others miss and take pride in precision * Familiar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes * Self-motivated and comfortable following 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 backend systems **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 generates and understands configuration and code * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
