OpenTrain AI is the hiring and contracting organization for this role and the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. We connect skilled professionals with opportunities to help shape how modern AI systems are built.
AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Engineers, reviewers, and other specialists create examples, test systems, and evaluate model performance so AI can become more capable and reliable.
In this project, your backend expertise will help create realistic development environments and challenging tasks that test AI models on backend software engineering problems.
We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to contribute to a project focused on training and evaluating next-generation AI systems. You will create, debug, and assess real-world software environments that challenge AI models with backend development tasks.
This is an intermediate-level contract role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working in unfamiliar codebases, and communicating technical reasoning clearly.
You will combine hands-on backend development with code review and AI evaluation. Your work will include building reliable technical environments, creating reference solutions, and assessing whether software submissions are correct, clear, and high quality.
You should have at least one year of hands-on backend development experience and strong practical knowledge of at least one supported programming language. Success in this role also requires careful debugging, strong technical communication, and comfort navigating unfamiliar systems.
This opportunity is a strong fit for backend engineers who enjoy building reliable software, investigating difficult bugs, and evaluating technical solutions. An interest in AI and emerging technologies is welcome, but your engineering ability is the primary qualification.
As an OpenTrain AI contractor, you will contribute remotely to a defined project expected to run for 3 to 6 months. The work centers on backend software engineering, code evaluation, and the development of environments used to test AI systems.
