Software Engineer - YAML Experience

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 with hands-on YAML experience to evaluate, author, and refine configuration workflows that power AI training pipelines.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who thrive in the details — the kind of person who notices a misplaced indent or a schema mismatch before it becomes a problem.

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

• Author, review, and maintain YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitions
• Ensure YAML structures are accurate, well-organized, and compliant with required schemas
• 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 sharp attention to detail to catch errors before they impact downstream systems
• Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

• 1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
• Comfortable working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments
• Highly detail-oriented — you catch subtle errors and inconsistencies others miss
• Familiar with version control workflows such as Git and structured engineering processes
• Self-motivated and able to follow precise technical requirements independently

• 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

• 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 structured code
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
