Software Engineer - YAML Experience

Software Engineer - YAML ExperienceWhat 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 ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/weekWhat You'll DoAuthor, review, and maintain YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitionsEvaluate AI-generated YAML and structured configurations for accuracy, consistency, and schema complianceIdentify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases in configuration filesCollaborate with engineers and researchers to support reliable system behavior and data qualityApply rigorous attention to detail to catch errors before they impact downstream systemsComplete task-based assignments independently on your own scheduleWho You Are1+ year of professional Software Engineering experienceHands-on experience working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environmentsHighly detail-oriented — you catch subtle errors and inconsistencies that others missFamiliar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processesAble to work independently and follow precise technical requirementsSelf-motivated and consistent when working asynchronouslyNice to HaveExperience with configuration-driven systems, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure toolingExposure to schema validation, linting, or structured data formats such as JSON or XMLPrior experience supporting AI, data, or automation workflowsBackground in DevOps, platform engineering, or systems architectureWhy Join UsWork on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labsFully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based workMake a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and produces real-world codePotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launchApply now
