Senior Full-Stack Engineer – Remote Contract
Listing checked September 16, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
This is a remote contract role for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to work on an AI training project. You will spend about 15 hours per week creating, solving, and reviewing software engineering tasks across front-end and back-end systems. The project also involves translating full coding builds from one language to another. Pay ranges from $50 to $100 per hour, and you can set your own schedule as long as you stay active. The tech stack includes Python, React, JavaScript, Java, Node.js, Rust, Go, and TypeScript.
What You'll Do7
- 1Build, change, and fix both client-side and server-side parts of applications.
- 2Create user-facing features along with the APIs, services, and data models that power them.
- 3Follow data and requests from the browser through front-end code, APIs, services, databases, and third-party integrations.
- 4Navigate and understand existing codebases and application architecture that you have not seen before.
- 5Find and resolve issues related to application state, API contracts, authentication, data storage, networking, and deployment.
- 6Assess and enhance code written in several programming languages.
- 7Check AI-generated code for correctness, completeness, performance, security, and ease of maintenance.
Requirements7
- 1Solid professional background building production full-stack applications.
- 2Hands-on experience with both front-end and back-end development.
- 3Production experience using more than one programming language.
- 4Deep understanding of browser applications, APIs, application state, databases, and service integration.
- 5Ability to grasp and contribute to the architecture of entire software systems.
- 6Comfort working in codebases you are not familiar with.
- 7Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
Who Should Apply
This role fits engineers who have shipped production full-stack applications and can move between front-end and back-end work without hesitation. You should be comfortable reading unfamiliar code, tracing issues across services, and evaluating code in multiple languages. Candidates who only specialize in one layer, such as front-end only or back-end only, will find this role less suitable. A common reason applicants get rejected is not showing enough hands-on experience with both sides of the stack. Another is lacking evidence of working in unfamiliar codebases or debugging complex systems.
Salary Insight
The pay range is $50 to $100 per hour. Compensation is output-based, meaning you are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time to complete each task varies based on your experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply, so you must submit a certain number of tasks each week.

VerifiedSenior Software Engineer
Building reinforcement learning environments sits at the center of this remote contractor role. You'll create reproducible workflows that mirror real DevOps and CI/CD debugging scenarios, using command-line tools like git, docker, gdb, and ffmpeg. Each environment you produce comes with a golden reference solution that marks what a correct result looks like. Your command of C++ or Python (or Java, GoLang, TypeScript, Rust) matters more than hands-on AI experience, though the output here shapes how AI models learn and reason. Expect to work about 15 hours a week with output-based pay.
