Software Engineer; C Internal Tooling

What if your C# skills could directly shape the infrastructure powering next-generation AI systems used by millions of people? We're looking for a senior full-stack C# engineer to build and optimize the internal tooling, data pipelines, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on every day.

This is a fully remote contract role with flexible hours. You'll work on real production systems — not toy projects — alongside data, research, and engineering teams at the frontier of AI development.

• Organization:
  Alignerr
• Type:
  Hourly Contract
• Location:
  
  Remote
• Commitment: 20–40 hours/week

• Design, build, and optimize high-performance C# systems supporting AI data pipelines and evaluation workflows
• Develop full-stack tooling and backend services for large-scale data annotation, validation, and quality control
• Improve reliability, performance, and safety across existing C# codebases
• Collaborate with data, research, and engineering teams to support model training and evaluation workflows
• Identify bottlenecks and edge cases in data and system behavior, then implement scalable fixes
• Participate in synchronous design reviews to iterate on architecture and implementation decisions

• Native or fluent English speaker with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Full-stack developer with a solid systems programming background
• 3–5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade C#

• Skilled at designing robust harnesses for benchmarking and evaluating system performance
• Able to commit 20–40 hours per week with reliability and consistency

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with AI/ML workflows, model training, or benchmarking pipelines
• Experience with distributed systems or developer tooling
• Background in research infrastructure or high-throughput data processing

• 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, high-impact engineering work
• Make a direct, tangible contribution to the infrastructure driving the next generation of AI
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
