Software Engineer – Python (Advanced)
About the Role
What if your Python skills could directly influence how AI systems reason about code, data, and complex engineering problems? We're looking for advanced Python engineers to work on real-world, high-impact tasks — building, evaluating, and improving the software and data workflows that sit at the cutting edge of AI development.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You'll work independently on meaningful, task-based engineering challenges — no meetings, no commute, no rigid schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- 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 AI modeling workflows
- Write and optimize complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate data
- Review, debug, and improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainability
- Translate ambiguous, high-level requirements into concrete, well-reasoned technical solutions
- Evaluate tradeoffs and recommend best-fit approaches with clear, consulting-style thinking
- Document assumptions, decisions, and implementation details with precision
Who You Are
Must-Have
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Advanced Python proficiency — clean architecture, performance optimization, and confident debugging
- Strong hands-on experience analyzing real-world datasets
- Solid SQL skills, including complex queries and data validation
- Ability to reason through open-ended problems and deliver structured, well-documented solutions
- Prior consulting or client-facing experience is a strong plus
Nice to Have
- Experience working with large, messy, or unstructured datasets
- Familiarity with backend systems, REST APIs, or data pipelines
- Comfort reviewing and evaluating AI-generated code or analytical outputs
- Strong written communication with sharp attention to detail
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based engineering work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and generates code at scale
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
