Software Engineer - YAML Experience

Alignerr is looking for detail-oriented Software Engineers to review, author, and evaluate YAML configurations that influence AI's understanding of structured code. This role involves ensuring that AI-generated outputs are accurate and well-structured while collaborating with engineers and researchers to maintain data quality and system reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Author, review, and evaluate YAML files used for configuration, data pipelines, and system definitions
• Assess whether YAML structures are accurate, well-organized, and compliant with required schemas
• Identify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases in AI-generated configuration files
• Apply rigorous attention to detail to catch errors that could impact downstream systems
• Collaborate asynchronously with engineers and researchers to support data quality and system reliability
• Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Requirements:

• 1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
• Comfortable working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments
• Highly detail-oriented — you instinctively catch subtle errors and inconsistencies
• Familiar with version control workflows such as Git and structured engineering processes
• Able to work independently and follow precise technical requirements without hand-holding
• Experience with configuration-driven systems, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure tooling
• Exposure to schema validation, linting, or structured data formats such as JSON or XML
• Prior experience supporting AI, data, or automation workflows
• Background in DevOps, platform engineering, or backend development
