Software Engineer - Python (Advanced)

Software Engineer – Python (Advanced) (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your Python expertise could directly influence how AI writes, evaluates, and reasons about code for engineers around the world? We're looking for advanced Python Software Engineers to tackle real-world engineering and data problems — building, reviewing, and improving the high-quality software solutions that make AI smarter and more reliable.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for senior engineers who thrive on complex, open-ended challenges. If you love clean architecture, sharp problem-solving, and working on systems that actually matter, this role is for you.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract / Task-based
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and optimize advanced Python code for production-level systems
• Analyze and manipulate structured datasets to support engineering and modeling workflows
• Write and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate data
• Review, debug, and improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Translate ambiguous or high-level requirements into concrete, well-reasoned technical solutions
• Evaluate tradeoffs and recommend best-fit approaches with consulting-style problem solving
• Document assumptions, decisions, and implementation details with clarity and precision

Who You Are

Must-Have

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Advanced proficiency in Python — clean architecture, performance optimization, and debugging
• Strong data analysis experience working with real-world datasets
• Solid SQL skills, including complex queries and data validation
• Prior consulting or client-facing experience, with the ability to reason through open-ended, ambiguous problems

Nice to Have

• Experience working with large, messy, or unstructured datasets
• Familiarity with backend systems, APIs, or data pipelines
• Comfort evaluating AI-generated code or analytical outputs
• Strong written communication skills and exceptional attention to detail

Why Join Us
