Job description

Full-Stack Software Engineer

Location: Global, fully remote

Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week)

Schedule: Flexible—you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired as long as there is activity.

We are looking for highly skilled Full-Stack Software Engineers to contribute to an AI training project involving software development, technical problem-solving, debugging, system architecture, and code evaluation.

The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating challenging software-engineering tasks across front-end and back-end systems and helping with translating full coding builds from one particular language into another.

This role requires meaningful hands-on experience across both front-end and back-end engineering. Candidates should be comfortable working throughout the application stack rather than specializing exclusively in one layer.

What You’ll Work On

• Develop, modify, and debug front-end and back-end application components.
• Implement user-facing features and the services, APIs, and data models that support them.
• Trace requests and data across browsers, front-end applications, APIs, services, databases, and external integrations.
• Work inside unfamiliar repositories and understand existing application architecture.
• Diagnose failures involving application state, API contracts, authentication, persistence, networking, and deployment.
• Evaluate and improve code written in multiple programming languages.
• Review AI-generated solutions for correctness, completeness, performance, security, and maintainability.

Required Qualifications

• Strong professional experience developing production full-stack applications.
• Meaningful hands-on experience with both front-end and back-end engineering.
• Production experience with multiple programming languages.
• Strong knowledge of browser applications, APIs, application state, databases, and service integration.
• Experience understanding and contributing to the architecture of complete software systems.
• Ability to work effectively in unfamiliar codebases.
