Senior Machine Learning Expert (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep expertise in machine learning could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason, plan, and solve problems? We're looking for Senior Machine Learning Experts to do something uniquely impactful: teach AI how to think. This project is about capturing the step-by-step reasoning of large language models — how they plan, use tools, and make decisions when tackling real, complex tasks.

The data you create directly trains next-generation AI to reason more reliably and intelligently in the real world. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior-level ML professionals who want to contribute to cutting-edge AI research on their own schedule.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Author complex, high-fidelity reasoning traces that document how an LLM should plan and execute sophisticated technical tasks

Design and structure traces that clearly capture tool use, decision-making logic, and multi-step problem solving

Review and mentor reasoning trace quality — ensuring clarity, logical rigor, and alignment with model training goals

Develop data strategies that help LLMs navigate intricate, real-world scenarios with greater reliability

Apply your architectural knowledge of ML systems to produce training data that meaningfully improves model performance





Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are Experienced ML qualified with a strong background in model reasoning, training methodologies, or related technical fields

Skilled at decomposing complex, multi-step problems into clear, logical, and well-documented sequences

Deep familiarity with how large language models work — including evaluation, fine-tuning, and training pipelines

Naturally rigorous and detail-oriented — you hold your work to a high standard

Comfortable working independently on structured, task-based assignments

Strong written communicator who can explain technical reasoning clearly Nice to Have Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or model evaluation systems

Top-tier Kaggle competition results (Grandmaster or Master level) demonstrating elite-level model understanding and feature engineering

Experience contributing to LLM pre-training, RLHF, or instruction-tuning workflows

Background in AI safety, alignment research, or model interpretability Why Join Us Work on some of the most consequential AI research happening right now — alongside leading labs and research teams

Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you do your best thinking

Freelance autonomy: set your own hours, choose your workload, and collaborate globally

Rare opportunity to directly influence how advanced AI systems reason and make decisions

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
