Job Title: Senior Backend Engineer

Role Type: Contractor (20 hrs per week)

Location: Remote

We are engaging Senior Backend Engineers to participate in an advanced project for a customer, focused on creating sophisticated Reinforcement Learning Environments for AI model training and evaluation. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

As an expert, you will create Reinforcement Learning Environments that test an AI model’s ability to design, deploy, troubleshoot, secure, scale, and recover production-grade cloud infrastructure. You will develop realistic scenarios involving distributed systems, networking, IAM, queues, durable storage, observability, rolling deployments, and disaster recovery, then build reproducible environments, deterministic validation tests, golden reference solutions, and intentionally defective variants.
