  • Evaluate AI-generated YAML outputs for correctness, structure, and schema compliance
  • Identify formatting issues, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases in configuration files
  • Ensure YAML structures are accurate, well-organized, and consistent with engineering best practices
  • Collaborate with engineers and researchers to support reliable system behavior and data quality
  • Apply rigorous attention to detail to prevent errors that could impact downstream systems

Who You Are

  • 1+ year of professional Software Engineering experience
  • Comfortable working with YAML in real-world production or data-driven environments
  • Highly detail-oriented - you notice subtle errors that others overlook
  • Familiar with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and structured engineering processes
  • Able to work independently, follow precise technical requirements, and deliver consistent quality

Nice to Have

  • Experience with configuration-driven systems, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure tooling
  • Exposure to schema validation, linting, or structured data formats such as JSON or XML
  • Prior experience supporting AI, data, or automation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible - work when and where it suits you
