Software Engineer (AI Training)
Employer · Alignerr
Budapest
What if the code you write could directly shape how the next generation of AI understands and generates software? We're looking for Software Engineers in Budapest to build, evaluate, and improve AI-generated code --- helping train AI systems to think like real developers. You'll write solutions, review AI outputs, and provide the expert-level feedback that makes AI coding assistants smarter, safer, and more reliable. This is hands-on engineering work at the frontier of AI development --- not theoretical, not bureaucratic, and not boring.
Tasks
- Write, debug, and optimize code across a range of languages, frameworks, and problem domains
- Review and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, readability, and best practices
- Identify bugs, logic errors, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI outputs
- Provide structured, detailed feedback explaining why code works --- or doesn't
- Design challenging coding prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test AI capabilities
- Compare and rank multiple AI-generated solutions based on engineering quality
- Work independently and asynchronously --- fully on your own schedule
