About the role

Software Engineer (C#) — Internal Tooling (AI Infrastructure)

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 experienced C# full-stack engineers to build and optimize the data pipelines, annotation tooling, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on.

This is a fully remote contract role with meaningful technical scope — real production systems, high-impact workflows, and the kind of engineering problems that actually stretch your skills.

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, production-ready fixes

Participate in synchronous design reviews and iterate on system architecture decisions with senior engineers

Who You Are

Native or fluent English speaker with clear written and verbal communication skills

Full-stack developer with a strong systems programming background

3–5+ years of professional experience writing production-grade C#

Experienced in interoperability scenarios — such as invoking Python ML models from .NET or wrapping native libraries

Skilled at designing robust benchmarking and evaluation harnesses

Able to commit 20–40 hours per week consistently

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

Background working directly with or alongside AI research teams
