About the Role

What if your Python expertise could directly influence how AI systems reason about, write, and evaluate real-world code? We're looking for advanced Python engineers to work on challenging, high-impact problems — building and refining the software and data workflows that power next-generation AI applications.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for engineers who thrive on complex problems, clean architecture, and sharp analytical thinking. If you've spent years writing production-grade Python and want work that actually stretches your skills, this is it.

• 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 and AI-driven workflows
• Analyze and manipulate structured datasets to support engineering and modeling pipelines
• Write and optimize complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate data
• Review, debug, and improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability
• Translate ambiguous, high-level requirements into precise, well-reasoned technical solutions
• Apply consulting-style thinking to evaluate tradeoffs and recommend best-fit approaches
• Document assumptions, decisions, and implementation details with clarity and precision

Who You Are

Must-Have

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Advanced Python proficiency — clean architecture, performance optimization, debugging at depth
• Strong data analysis experience working with real-world, complex datasets
• Solid SQL skills, including complex queries, joins, and data validation workflows
• Prior consulting or client-facing experience, with a demonstrated ability to reason through open-ended technical problems

Nice to Have

• Experience working with large, messy, or unstructured datasets
• Familiarity with backend systems, REST APIs, or data pipelines
• Comfort reviewing and evaluating AI-generated code or analytical outputs
• Strong written communication with sharp attention to detail

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you do your best thinking
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based engineering work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and produces high-quality software
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
