Software Engineer for AI Model Training

$90 - $140 per hour

SaidGig

Role Overview

Apply production software engineering expertise to help train next-generation AI systems through rigorous technical analysis, written feedback, and engineering documentation. This remote contract role centers on translating real-world engineering judgment into clear, high-quality input, with no prior AI experience required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Explain the reasoning behind technical decisions, including system design choices and their trade-offs.
  • Evaluate code samples and architecture proposals, providing written feedback on strengths, weaknesses, and improvements.
  • Create technical documentation, including RFCs, ADRs, and design specifications, to clarify engineering approaches and justifications.
  • Perform structured code reviews and debugging exercises, documenting step-by-step reasoning and recommended solutions.
  • Develop actionable automation-testing strategies and performance-analysis reports that identify best practices and optimization opportunities.
  • Communicate complex engineering concepts in concise, accessible language for a broad audience.

Qualifications

  • At least 3 years of experience delivering production-grade software with a modern technology stack.
  • Strong skills in software engineering, system design, code review, automation testing, debugging, technical writing, performance analysis, trade-off analysis, and clear written technical communication.
  • Demonstrated technical-writing experience, such as RFCs, ADRs, design documentation, or substantial code-review commentary.
  • Strong analytical ability in system design, performance evaluation, and debugging real-world software challenges.
  • Ability to explain intricate technical topics clearly and persuasively in written English.
  • Familiarity with automation-testing frameworks and performance and trade-off analysis methodologies.
  • Experience collaborating with or contributing to leading organizations or well-regarded academic institutions is preferred.
  • Motivation to combine deep engineering knowledge with sophisticated writing ability.

Work Terms

  • Remote contract engagement.

Compensation

  • $90 to $140 per hour.
