Backend Developer - AI Data Services

Backend Developer — AI Data Services

About the Role

What if your C# expertise could directly shape the infrastructure powering the world's most advanced AI systems? We're looking for a Senior C# Full-Stack Engineer to build and optimize the data pipelines, annotation tooling, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on every day.

This is a fully remote contract role working on real production systems — not toy projects. You'll collaborate with data, research, and engineering teams at the frontier of AI development, solving hard infrastructure problems that matter.

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

What You'll Do

• 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, and implement scalable fixes
• Participate in synchronous design reviews to iterate on architecture and implementation decisions

Who You Are

• Native or fluent English speaker with clear written and verbal communication skills
• Full-stack developer with a strong systems programming background
• 5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade C#
• Strong skills in data modeling and database access using ORM frameworks or micro-ORMs for high-performance SQL interactions
• Experienced building secure, well-documented endpoints for data access and manipulation
• Able to commit 20–40 hours per week with consistency and reliability

Nice to Have

• 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

Why Join Us

• Work directly with leading AI research labs on systems that power next-generation models
• Fully remote and flexible — work from anywhere on a schedule that suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure and consistency of meaningful, ongoing project work
• Make a tangible impact on how AI systems are built, evaluated, and improved at scale
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
