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 next generation of AI? We're looking for experienced full-stack C# engineers to build and improve the systems that leading AI labs depend on — from data annotation pipelines to evaluation harnesses and quality control tooling.

This is a fully remote contract role with flexible commitment. You'll work on real production systems alongside data, research, and engineering teams at the frontier of AI development.

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 and resolve bottlenecks and edge cases in data and system behavior with scalable solutions

Participate in synchronous design reviews to iterate on architecture and implementation decisions

Build and maintain robust benchmarking and performance evaluation harnesses

Who You Are

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

Strong full-stack developer background with solid systems programming fundamentals

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

Experienced designing robust harnesses for benchmarking and evaluating system performance

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

Able to commit 20–40 hours per week with reliability and consistency

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 with or alongside research teams in a fast-moving environment

Why Join Us
