Software Engineer - YAML Experience

About The Role

Software Engineer – YAML Experience (AI Training)

What if your eye for precision and deep knowledge of YAML configuration could directly influence how AI understands and generates structured code for engineers around the world? We're looking for detail-oriented Software Engineers to evaluate, author, and refine YAML-based configurations and structured workflows — helping ensure that AI systems produce accurate, reliable, and production-ready outputs.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for engineers who thrive in the details — people who genuinely enjoy working close to configuration logic, schemas, and system architecture.

• 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 outputs for correctness, structure, and schema compliance
• Identify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases in configuration files
• Ensure YAML structures are accurate, well-organized, and consistent with engineering best practices
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to support reliable system behavior and data quality
• Apply rigorous attention to detail to prevent errors that could impact downstream systems
  
  

Who You Are

• 1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
• Comfortable working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments
• Highly detail-oriented — you notice subtle errors that others overlook
• Familiar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes
• Able to work independently, follow precise technical requirements, and deliver consistent quality
  
  

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
  
  

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 generates real-world engineering configurations
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
