What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior C++ Full-Stack Engineer — AI Data & Infrastructure position at Alignerr?
About The Role
What if your systems programming expertise could directly shape the infrastructure powering the world's most advanced AI models? We're looking for Senior C Engineers to design and build the high-performance data pipelines, annotation tooling, and evaluation systems that leading AI labs depend on to train and improve next-generation AI.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for engineers who write clean, fast, production-grade C and want to work on problems that genuinely matter.
