About the Role
About The Role
What if your years of software engineering experience could directly shape how AI writes code for millions of developers? We're looking for Software Engineers in Toronto to evaluate, rank, and refine AI-generated code — helping the next generation of coding assistants produce solutions that are correct, efficient, idiomatic, and production-ready.
Toronto is home to one of the world's most vibrant tech communities, and your engineering expertise is exactly what's needed to make AI coding assistants truly world-class. This isn't about writing boilerplate — it's about applying expert judgment to push the boundaries of what AI can do with code.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced developers who want meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule.
Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Review and rank AI-generated code solutions across multiple programming languages and problem domainsEvaluate code for correctness, efficiency, readability, maintainability, and adherence to best practicesIdentify bugs, anti-patterns, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI-generated outputsWrite detailed, structured feedback explaining why one solution is better than anotherRefine and improve AI-generated code to meet production-level engineering standardsProvide preference rankings that help AI models learn what "good code" actually looks likeWork independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
Software engineer with 3+ years of professional development experienceProficient in one or more major programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C++, Go, Rust)Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and computational complexityDeep understanding of software design principles, clean code practices, and engineering trade-offsExperienced with code review — you know how to assess quality and articulate why something works or doesn'tClear, concise written communicator who can explain technical decisions effectivelySelf-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
Nice to Have
Experience across multiple languages, frameworks, or tech stacksBackground in systems design, distributed systems, or backend architectureFamiliarity with AI/ML concepts or experience using AI coding tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)Prior experience with code evaluation, technical mentoring, or open-source contributionKnowledge of security best practices and performance optimizationExperience in competitive programming or technical interviewing
