Software Engineer - YAML Experience

Software Engineer - YAML Experience

What if your precision with YAML and configuration systems could directly influence how AI understands and generates structured code for developers around the world? We're looking for detail-oriented Software Engineers to review, author, and evaluate YAML configurations and structured workflows — helping ensure AI-generated outputs are accurate, well-formed, and production-ready.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who love working close to the metal — configuration, schemas, and system logic are your comfort zone.

• Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Author, review, and maintain YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitions
• Evaluate AI-generated YAML and structured configurations for accuracy, consistency, and schema compliance
• Identify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases in configuration files
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to support reliable system behavior and data quality
• Apply rigorous attention to detail to catch errors before they impact downstream systems
• 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
• Highly detail-oriented — you catch subtle errors and inconsistencies that others miss
• Familiar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes
• Able to work independently and follow precise technical requirements
• Self-motivated and consistent when working asynchronously

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 systems architecture

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 understands and produces real-world code
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
