Software Engineer (AI Training) — Remote Contract
Posted Today by Alignerr
Negotiable
Undetermined
Remote
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary: The role of Software Engineer (AI Training) involves building, evaluating, and improving AI-generated code to enhance AI systems' understanding and generation of software. This position requires hands-on engineering work, focusing on writing clean code, reviewing AI outputs, and providing expert feedback. The role is fully remote and offers flexible hours, allowing engineers to work independently. Candidates should possess strong programming skills and a solid understanding of software design principles.
Key Responsibilities:
- Write, debug, and optimize code across a range of languages, frameworks, and problem domains
- Review and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, readability, and best practices
- Identify bugs, logic errors, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI outputs
- Provide structured, detailed feedback explaining why code works — or doesn't
- Design challenging coding prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test AI capabilities
- Compare and rank multiple AI-generated solutions based on engineering quality
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Key Skills:
- Proficient in one or more programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, TypeScript, or similar)
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
- Able to read, write, and reason about code with clarity and precision
- Strong problem-solving instincts and a systematic debugging approach
- Clear written communicator — you can explain technical decisions in plain language
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience
- Experience across multiple languages or tech stacks (full-stack, backend, systems, data engineering)
- Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, LLMs, or prompt engineering
- Background in code review, technical writing, or mentoring junior developers
- Experience with cloud platforms, DevOps, or distributed systems
- Competitive programming, open-source contributions, or side projects that demonstrate your craft
- Advanced degree in Computer Science or related discipline

About The Role
What if the code you write could directly shape how the next generation of AI understands and generates software? We're looking for Software Engineers in London to build, evaluate, and improve AI-generated code — helping train AI systems to think like real developers. You'll write solutions, review AI outputs, and provide the expert-level feedback that makes AI coding assistants smarter, safer, and more reliable. This is hands-on engineering work at the frontier of AI development — not theoretical, not bureaucratic, and not boring. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you can write clean code and explain your reasoning, we want to hear from you.
