Senior Software Engineer — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks

About this role

About The Role
What if the code you write could determine how smart the next generation of AI truly is? We're looking for experienced Software Engineers to design and build the coding benchmarks and data pipelines used to evaluate frontier AI models — the systems that decide whether an AI can actually reason, debug, and write production-quality software.


This is high-impact, technically demanding work at the intersection of software engineering and AI research. You'll work with large codebases, multiple programming languages, and scalable infrastructure to create evaluation systems that push the boundaries of what AI can do.


This is a fully remote contract role. If you thrive in fast-paced engineering environments and want your work to directly shape the trajectory of AI — this is the role.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Contract Length: 3 Months
• Commitment: Full-time availability preferred

What You'll Do

• Design and implement coding benchmarks used to evaluate frontier AI models across real-world programming tasks
• Build and maintain scalable data pipelines for AI evaluation workflows
• Analyze AI-generated code for correctness, reliability, and edge-case failures
• Create structured evaluation scenarios that rigorously test reasoning, debugging, and code quality
• Work with large code repositories and multi-language environments
• Collaborate on systems that improve how AI models understand and generate software
• Provide detailed technical feedback on model performance and failure patterns
• Contribute to the design of evaluation frameworks that set industry standards

Who You Are

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience — this is non-negotiable
• Experience working at a high-growth tech company or top-tier software organization
• Expert proficiency in Python — you write clean, performant, well-tested Python code
• Hands-on experience with code repositories and working ...
