Software Engineer | $50-$100/hr Remote
Overview
This isn't your typical software engineering role—you'll apply your coding expertise to shape how next-generation AI systems learn and reason. Your day-to-day work involves building robust backend and frontend systems that provide high-quality training data for AI models. You don't need prior AI experience; your strong engineering foundation is what matters most.
What You'll Do7
- 1Build, optimize, and maintain both backend and frontend components using Java, JavaScript, and Python.
- 2Develop and integrate RESTful APIs that ensure secure and efficient data flow across distributed systems.
- 3Design, query, and manage SQL databases to support high-performance, scalable applications.
- 4Promote clean code practices, write thorough unit tests, participate in code reviews, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for continuous delivery.
- 5Collaborate in Agile teams, translating business requirements into reliable technical solutions.
- 6Troubleshoot and debug complex software issues quickly, minimizing downtime and performance bottlenecks.
- 7Contribute to system architecture discussions with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and cloud deployment best practices (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Requirements7
- 1At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Java, JavaScript, and Python.
- 2Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming principles.
- 3Hands‑on experience with SQL databases, API integrations, and cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- 4Solid familiarity with Git, version control workflows, and Agile development processes.
- 5Proven track record with CI/CD, unit testing, debugging, and writing clean, maintainable code.
- 6Ability to design and build scalable, high‑performance software systems.
- 7Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical concepts clearly.
Who Should Apply
We're looking for a seasoned software engineer who thrives on solving challenging problems and is excited to see their code directly influence AI model training. You enjoy owning end‑to‑end delivery, from design to deployment, and take pride in writing maintainable, scalable code. Experience with distributed systems, microservices, or modern frontend frameworks is a plus, but what truly matters is your strong engineering mindset and ability to collaborate in a remote, Agile team.
