Software Engineer, Infrastructure Specialist - AI Trainer

Are you a software engineer with deep infrastructure expertise and a systems-level mindset eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are increasingly responsible for reasoning about real-world systems, cloud architectures, and performance-critical infrastructure. With high-quality expert training data, tomorrow’s AI can better design, evaluate, and operate complex software systems at scale. That training data begins with you.

We’re looking for SWE Infrastructure Specialists fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python who specialize in systems thinking, software and infrastructure architecture, performance optimization, and quality engineering. You’ll challenge advanced language models on realistic infrastructure and platform scenarios involving cloud design, Infrastructure-as-Code abstractions, deployment workflows, scalability constraints, and failure modes. This work focuses on evaluating how models reason about architectural tradeoffs, abstraction layers, environment isolation, state management, and reliability across distributed systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Converse with advanced AI models on infrastructure and platform engineering tasks using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
• Verify architectural soundness and logical correctness of AI-generated solutions.
• Assess code quality, testing strategies, and performance bottlenecks.
• Analyze deployment risks and capture reproducible failure cases.
• Suggest improvements to prompt design and evaluation metrics to strengthen model reasoning.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field is ideal.
• Real-world experience in cloud platforms, infrastructure engineering, platform or DevOps roles, performance analysis, or QA practices is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
• Strong systems thinking, software and infrastructure architecture skills.
• Expertise in performance optimization and quality engineering.
• Excellent technical communication skills, with the ability to articulate system-level reasoning and tradeoffs clearly.

About the Project:

This freelance project involves training AI models to understand and reason about complex software systems and infrastructure. Your expertise will directly contribute to the development of AI that can design, evaluate, and operate software at scale.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Pay range: $80 - $150 per hour, determined by experience, expertise, and location.
• This is a contract position.
• Contractors must supply their own secure computer and high-speed internet.
• Company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
