APPLY QUEUE — 2026-10-27 (for Timmy to queue, Alexander submits)

Authority: Alexander asked Zeph to send Timmy "everything I can apply for today" and have Timmy queue it for Alexander's own submission. Escalation path: Zeph → Timmy (pipe) → Alexander (Telegram); Zeph never relays decisions and raises nothing in chat. Rules: Timmy queues only — never submits, never creates accounts, never contacts anyone on Alexander's behalf. He carries the open questions below to Alexander DIRECTLY via Telegram. Materials are public-safe (professional name only; no email, phone, or private facts). Supersedes apply-queue-2026-10-26.md. Compiled by Zephyrus Sparkborn, 2026-10-27. Liveness verified from a clean external network unless marked otherwise.

Corrections folded into the body this tick (append-only history preserved in daily-2026-10-21.md's corrections section; reply-80 year fix logged 2026-10-22): N5 Alignerr pay is $60–80/hr on the page header (my 10-20/10-21 "unstated" was wrong; third-party $60–120 range dropped); the six corroborated Turing doors now carry their page-title labels (reply-78 table), not feed labels — HI7GzvKjPF is "Senior Python Engineer – AI Agents Evaluation" (not "GenAI Security"); Xqiv8zPNaw is the actual GenAI Security door.

Pipeline tally

11 submitted / 2 interviews / 0 offers / 2 rejections. One queue door closed today (item 12 — live-render corroborated, see corrections log); no new submissions, no ATS gate drift.

Queue order (by conversion speed)

1. "Senior Software Engineer – AI Evaluation / Coding Agents" — TURING DOOR ONLY ⭐ APPLY-READY, best-structured interview this month

  • URL: https://work.turing.com/r/bs71Txx0ar (LIVE, full copy re-read 2026-10-22)
  • The 24-MAG careers-page door is CLOSED (genuine 404, two hosts, 10-21). The project is the same one (word-for-word dedupe verified by Timmy); only the Turing door remains.
  • Terms: freelance/contract, remote North America only, 20–40 hrs/week with ≥6 hrs/day PT overlap (~3–9pm ET — lifestyle call), ~3-month project, start ASAP. Pay: $100–150/hr — the form asks for a specific rate expectation, so the number is a concrete decision.
  • Work: review AI-generated code, design rubrics and acceptance criteria, repo-level analysis, eval-infrastructure pipelines. Two years of Alexander's daily Q-audit work, nearly verbatim.
  • Interview (three stages, from the live page): ~25-min AI interview → ~30-min practical (reviewing AI-generated code, not algorithms) → ~20-min hiring-manager chat.
  • Gates: 5+ years hands-on SE, Python listed FIRST among languages (no React/Node hard requirement), code review, written communication, modern LLM tooling; "LLM evaluation or coding-agent experience is advantageous." No degree requirement anywhere. Named gap (not hidden): the 24-MAG page's "GitHub-based development workflows" line — his public review work lives on Gitea; name it in the application, don't hide it. Five of six gates clear.
  • Caveats: the page mentions TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Java among skills — none is a hard requirement, but Alexander knows his denialist lines. First stage is an AI interview, so the standing rule applies: pause ALL Mac automations before it (pre-flight procedure: interview-preflight-24mag.md).
  • Paste-ready pitch (public-safe):

I'm Alexander Payne, a senior backend engineer (Python) contracting independently. For the last two years my day job has been directing and evaluating AI coding agents end to end on real repositories: reviewing generated implementations for correctness, robustness, and maintainability; designing the acceptance criteria and rubrics the evaluations run on; and making release decisions on agent output at the diff level. Underneath that, 5+ years of production Python — Django, Flask, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker, CI/CD — so I judge generated code the way someone who has shipped it does: by reading it, running it, and checking the tests. I'm comfortable cloning an unfamiliar repo, reading its architecture cold, and writing up exactly where the model went wrong and why. Remote, US-based, available to start immediately, fine with the PT overlap.

  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER (Timmy to ask directly): go or no-go on the Turing door, and his rate inside $100–150.

2. Data Annotation — "Software Engineer"

  • URL: https://dataannotation.tech/job-board/software-engineer (LIVE 2026-10-22, 200 after redirect)
  • Terms: remote, weekly payouts. Pay: Up to $150+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. No degree required.
  • Work: run agentic coding sessions on real engineering tasks, analyze what the models produce, red-team them until they fail in interesting ways. Distinct door from the Backend Engineer track.

3. OpenTrain — "Backend Coding Task & Verifier Specialist"

4. Terac — "Software Engineers: Paid Code Review for AI Agent Evaluation"

  • URL: https://terac.com/opportunities/XJ4I47Bp6ExVHmNY (LIVE, full copy re-rendered 2026-10-24; published 2026-10-02)
  • Terms: remote, hourly. Pay: $65/hr (Timmy's on-page read 10-21, Documented). "15 spots left" badge remains client-side-only — carried as my live-browser read, not a verified count.
  • Render note 2026-10-26: live-browser render confirms the side panel reads "Earn $65 per hour" with an "Apply to this opportunity" button and no closure notice — the $65/hr cell is now live-render confirmed, not variance-flagged. (The text fetch still shows "Hourly Remote" only: the pay lives in the side panel the extractor drops.)
  • NEW named contact: Zachary "Zac" Baker, Co-Founder & CEO (co-founded 2025 with Jack Blair; source: greenbook.org/company/Terac directory; public business line +1 (703) 405-1525; careers@terac.com held). He reaches out.

5. micro1 — Senior SWE ($245–280/hr) — CLOSED 2026-10-24

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/3d79ba82-926b-48c0-9d15-8791a364ea81 (page renders 2026-10-24 AND states "This job is currently closed and not accepting applications." — rendered closure, confirmed by two reads this run: my own browser.open + scout instrument)
  • Terms were: remote contractor, published 2026-08-27, $245–280/hr.
  • Do not route Alexander here. Corroboration-requested: Timmy host re-read of the closed banner (status flip).
  • Correction: my 10-23 "URL-DEAD" verdict for micro1 was a wrong-domain artifact (fetches hit micro1.ai/post/ instead of jobs.micro1.ai/post/). The canonical pages render; this closure is real, on the correct domain.

6. Vettedlance — "Senior SWE, Agentic Coding Evaluation"

7. Askable — "Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks"

  • URL: https://www.askable.com/experts/roles/senior-software-engineer (LIVE 2026-10-22, 200)
  • Terms: contract after paid technical task; remote, any location; ≥10 h/wk.
  • Pay: US$1,000 per accepted task (not hourly).
  • Gate: code you own merged into a public open-source repository (employer/client code excluded). OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: does he have qualifying OSS work?
  • NEW named contact: John Goleby, Co-Founder & CEO of Askable (Brisbane; US/UK/Chicago offices; $22M AirTree-led Series A Dec 2024 — sources: devopsdigest.com/askable-joins-vendor-forum, thebusinessfrontier.com, cmotech.uk; the year is 2024 per PRNewswire's "CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2024" dateline, Askable's own blog, Business Insider — my "all 2026" was wrong, fixed 2026-10-22 per reply 80). The funnel is self-serve, but he can go direct on the OSS-gate question. He reaches out.

8. Turing M2 — "Senior SWE – Python (LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation)"

  • URL: https://work.turing.com/r/C94ooVlx1g (LIVE, full copy re-read 2026-10-22)
  • Terms: contractor, remote, 4–8 weeks, ≥4 h/day (20 h/wk) with 4 h PST overlap.
  • Gates verbatim: degree line, "Minimum 8 years … in leading product companies or technology startups", Python mandatory + Java/Go/C++. OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: go/no-go + rate.

9. Turing N2 — "Senior SWE – LLM Evaluation (US-based)"

  • URL: https://work.turing.com/r/b9OgTSjjGs (LIVE, full copy re-read 2026-10-22)
  • Terms: contractor (no medical/paid leave), US-based required, 10–40 h/wk flexible, 1 month (+ext). AI video interview required.
  • Fit: code curation "primarily in Python", agent/verification-tooling work, 3+ yrs. Caveat: additional work in JavaScript (incl. ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, Go (on-page) — denialist risk.
  • New on-page data point (10-22): "Ideal Background" section names frontier-AI employers (OpenAI/NVIDIA/Databricks/Palantir/Snowflake) and "especially welcome" CS programs (UW/UIUC/UT Austin/Michigan/Purdue) — "though exceptional experience and skill always take precedence over pedigree." Flagged as a funnel signal, not a hard gate.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass.

10. micro1 — "Junior SWE" ($150–200/hr) — CLOSED 2026-10-24

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/29ba0d51-2d9f-412e-ad19-5f28a76ca96e (page renders 2026-10-24 AND states "This job is currently closed and not accepting applications." — rendered closure, confirmed by two reads this run)
  • Terms were: contractor, remote, $150–200/hr, published 2026-10-12.
  • Do not route Alexander here. Corroboration-requested: Timmy host re-read of the closed banner (status flip despite the recent publish date).

11. Alignerr N5 — "Senior Machine Learning Engineer" ($60–80/hr ON PAGE, Timmy 10-21)

  • URL: https://www.alignerr.com/jobs/20c08939-56c2-4351-a47a-efcdf022eca5 (LIVE 2026-10-24; pay Documented from the page header by Timmy 10-21: "Senior Machine Learning Engineer $60-80/hr Remote Freelance CODING")
  • Render note 2026-10-24: the $60–80/hr figure does NOT appear in the 10-23 or 10-24 renders (Hourly Contract / Remote / 10–40 h/wk only). The body pay cell keeps Timmy's Documented read; the variance is flagged, not a pay change — a Timmy host re-read settles it.
  • Terms: hourly contract, remote, 10–40 h/wk, fully async.
  • Work: LLM training/eval data authoring — reasoning traces, model-failure analysis; adjacent to the AI-eval seat. No LinkedIn/degree required per listing.
  • Caveats: framed for ML practitioners; pay below the top band.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass.
  • Direct lane stays weak (self-serve funnel; Labelbox CEO Manu Sharma named-only).

12. Terac — "Part-Time Full-Stack Engineers: Farm-Data Platform Development" ($39/hr, Timmy 10-21) — CLOSED 2026-10-25

  • URL: https://terac.com/opportunities/EW5rvZqnDf0sO6qQ (CLOSED 2026-10-25: live-browser render shows "This listing has closed, but Terac posts new paid opportunities regularly. Sign up to get matched with similar work." with no Apply button or application form for this listing — corroborating Timmy's 2026-10-25 host re-read at 0ba6be9 (closure banner + isClosed:true) and sol's sweep. Correction per reply 99 §2: the banner IS in a plain text fetch of the same URL (200/213,617 B, closure sentence twice) — the scout extractor drops the panel, the plain fetch surfaces it. The 10-25 "text fetches neither confirm nor refute" sentence was an instrument generalisation, corrected here.)
  • Terms were: independent contractor, remote any timezone, ~15 h/wk, 1+ year engagement, weekly pay. Pay was Documented $39/hr on page per Timmy 10-21.
  • Do not route Alexander here. Decision 9 (take or pass) is WITHDRAWN as moot 2026-10-25.

13. micro1 — "Open Source Contributor (GitHub)" ($100–150/hr)

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/18a809aa-0b7f-4523-ac0e-508c9f0f6f66 (LIVE canonical, re-read 2026-10-24 on two reads this run: title "Open Source Contributor (GitHub)", $100–150/hr, published 2026-09-16; apply/process sections render, no closed banner).
  • Corroborated LIVE 10-21 via six mirrors (canonical URL malformed; true UUID unresolved) — struck 10-23: the full UUID sat in micro1-oss-maintainer-2026-10-20.md line 39 all along; the truncation was mine at write time (reply 81).
  • Terms: global remote contractor, ~15 h/wk, flexible; ~100 openings.
  • Gates: public/verifiable GitHub profile with meaningful ownership; Alexander's public review work lives on Gitea — the standing GitHub gate gap. Compensation per-task with minimum weekly submissions — treat band as nominal.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: queue-add his call (pending the GitHub-gate honest read).

14. Corroborated Turing doors — all LIVE (Timmy's host, reply 78, 10-21) — weighable now

  • r/Y74n4sPVv9 — Senior Software Engineer – LLM Evaluation: 10–40 h/wk, contractor, 1 mo, partial PST overlap. No $ on page.
  • r/HI7GzvKjPF — Senior Python Engineer – AI Agents Evaluation: full-time contractual, 40 h/wk, 1 mo, remote. No $ on page. (Label corrected — not GenAI Security.)
  • r/CUZsKnwt7P — Agentic Coding Evaluation Specialist (Contract): "Compensation: $75/hour", ~2–4 weeks (+ ext). Stale-risk flag 2026-10-25: body also states "Project start date: May 4, 2026 (Tentative)", rolling "until the batch is full" — still rendering, no closure marker, but weigh as backfill/batch, not a fresh project.
  • r/JHrOLgPhXZ — Senior Backend Engineer (Python/FastAPI) – AI Evaluation (US-based): 10–40 h/wk, contractor, 1 mo. No $ on page.
  • r/Xqiv8zPNaw — GenAI Security Evaluation Engineer: "Pay up to $150/hr depending on internal evaluation and location", freelance/remote/contractor, up to 2 weeks. (The actual GenAI-Security door.)
  • r/alSSk0vX2k — Senior Software Engineer – LLM Evaluation (US/Canada/WEU): 10–40 h/wk, contractor, 1 mo. No $ on page.
  • Four doors state no figure — weigh on fit, not pay.

UNVERIFIED this tick (hold, do not queue)

  • micro1 Senior Platform Engineer re-post: still absent from the board (JS shell; mirrors only) — stays dropped, watching for a re-post.

DROPPED

  • 24-MAG careers-page door — CLOSED 2026-10-21 (live-browser 404 + Timmy's host 404). The project continues via item 1 (Turing door).

Open decisions (for Alexander, via Timmy on Telegram — NOT via Zeph)

  1. Item 1 (Turing door, $100–150/hr project): go/no-go + his rate number.
  2. Item 8 (Turing M2): go/no-go + rate (carried from 10-13 — still unanswered).
  3. Item 9 (N2): take or pass (React caveat + new pedigree-language note).
  4. Item 5 (micro1 $245–280/hr): authorization to start the candidate account + AI interview + skill assessments — WITHDRAWN 2026-10-24: door CLOSED (rendered banner).
  5. Item 7 (Askable): does he have qualifying OSS-merged work — and whether to go direct via John Goleby.
  6. Item 11 (N5 Alignerr MLE, $60–80/hr on page): take or pass.
  7. Item 4 (Terac $65/hr): window open — and whether to go direct via Zachary Baker.
  8. Item 10 (micro1 "Junior SWE" $150–200/hr): queue-add his call — WITHDRAWN 2026-10-24: door CLOSED (rendered banner).
  9. Item 12 (Terac $39/hr farm-data): take or pass — WITHDRAWN as moot 2026-10-25: door CLOSED (live-render corroborated).
  10. Item 13 (micro1 OSS Contributor $100–150/hr): queue-add his call (GitHub-gate honest read).
  11. Item 14 (six corroborated doors): weigh on fit now that liveness is Documented.
  12. Item 25 (OpenTrain GenAI Security $150/hr): take or pass — conditional on genuine appsec depth.
  13. Item 28 (Alignerr Senior SWE – AI Evaluation): take or pass — pay CORRECTED 2026-10-27 to $60-120/hr on page (Timmy Documented, reply 112 §2); hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk.
  14. Item 29 (Alignerr Senior SWE – AI Infrastructure): take or pass — new verified door 2026-10-27, hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk, one role / two city variants (Seattle, New York), pay unstated in text fetch.
  15. Item 30 (Alignerr Senior Systems Engineer – AI Data & Infrastructure): take or pass — new verified door 2026-10-27, hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk, pay unstated in text fetch.

New lead-grade items 10-22 (scout + corroborated top two by my reads)

15. Surge AI — "Senior Software Engineer: Agentic Coding RL Environments" ($100–150+/hour) ⭐ NEW TOP FIND

  • URL: https://surgehq.ai/swe (LIVE, full copy re-read by me 2026-10-22; scout instrument corroborates)
  • Terms: fully remote contractor, 20–40+ hrs/week, choose-your-schedule, async Slack, own equipment.
  • Pay: $100–$150+/hour on page ("Pay scales with your expertise"; "Some projects go well past the top of that range"; header "Make $200–300k+/year").
  • Work: build coding RL environments and benchmarks for frontier labs; review & red-team model output; write tests, rubrics, success criteria; structured feedback that improves future models.
  • Gates: professional SWE experience shipping scaled production systems; strong judgment about good code and model failures; expertise in at least one common stack incl. Python; no AI/ML background required, no degree, no LinkedIn.
  • Process: 2-hour coding capability screen → ID verification → paid first task.
  • Fit: near-perfect lane match — his 2-year agent-directing/eval background maps 1:1 (this is the work he does daily on the archive audits).
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: go or no-go + whether to start the 2-hour coding screen.

16. workfindy.com — "Senior AI Engineer (Contract)" ($100–150/hr)

  • URL: https://workfindy.com/jobs/8f257919-3692-4422-ba07-60e05805ce8a (LIVE, full copy re-read by me 2026-10-22)

  • Caveat: employer unnamed — apply by "DM the poster" (conversion risk).
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass.

17. Turing — "Senior Python Engineer – LLM Evaluation" (US-based) (L2)

  • URL: https://work.turing.com/r/HfWfAxm6VX (rendered open today, scout instrument)

18. Turing — "Software Engineer – AI Research & Evaluation" (US-based) (L3)

19. Turing — "Senior Python Engineer – LLM Evaluation" (systems emphasis) (L4)

  • URL: https://work.turing.com/r/3tkNgppkIt (rendered open today, scout instrument)
  • Terms: same engagement shape; pay not stated; systems/infra bent — Go/Rust/C++ named but Python first, no hard ownership demanded.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass.

20. Alignerr — "Senior SWE — Agentic Coding" (L6)

21. Alignerr — "Senior SWE — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks" (L7)

22. Alignerr — "Software Engineer - Python (Advanced)" (L8)

23. Handshake AI — AI Trainer (filler-hours track) (L9)

  • Terms: independent contractor (not FT), fully remote, ~5–20 h/wk when assigned, year-round; pay not stated. 4+ yrs SWE, US-eligible, no LinkedIn/degree mandate.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: worth a profile, his call.

24. micro1 — "Open Source GitHub Maintainer" ($150–300/hr) — NEW NUMBERED ITEM 2026-10-23 (row verified 10-20; promoted from supplement per reply 81)

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/51a65c2c-07dd-4307-aba6-f7c4af17311c (LIVE — canonical detail page re-read 2026-10-24; "Apply now" renders; published 2026-08-14)
  • Terms: contractor, remote global, 15 h/wk, flexible; minimum weekly task submissions; "typically fill roles within 48 hours." Pay $150–300/hr, output-based per accepted task (pace-dependent — treat as nominal).
  • Work: review LLM-generated code patches for the repository the expert maintains; detailed written justifications; peer-review other experts' submissions. In-lane (diff-level review + written justification — Alexander's daily shape).
  • Gates: "Applicants must have clear open source contributions and profiles to showcase it like GitHub or GitLab" (page-verbatim). Same Gitea-gap as item 13: name the forge profile in the application, don't hide it. Preferred: OSS-maintenance experience; contributor-code review experience.
  • Process: screening questions → ~10-min AI interview → hiring-manager review. (Mac-automation pause before the AI interview.)
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: queue-add his call. (Top-band micro1 family — weigh alongside items 13 and 24 now that items 5 and 10 are closed, not only in micro1-oss-maintainer-2026-10-20.md.)

25. OpenTrain — "GenAI Security Evaluation Engineer" ($150/hr) — NEW 2026-10-24, SECURITY-CONDITIONAL

  • URL: https://www.opentrain.ai/jobs/genai-security-evaluation-engineer--cmuxyhp6w000606nucgoq7baa/ (LIVE canonical detail page, full fetch 2026-10-24; posted Oct 7, 2026)
  • Terms: contract, part-time, 20+ h/wk, open worldwide. Pay: "$150 per hour" stated as hourly (not per-task equivalent) on page.
  • Work: build/test vulnerable GenAI agent and RAG codebases, annotate security risks, evaluate detection tools. Requires 5+ years in application/product security or security-focused SWE including secure code review; source-to-sink/taint analysis, SAST, CodeQL or Semgrep; LLM agents/RAG (LangChain/LlamaIndex/OpenAI or Anthropic SDKs or MCP); production Python and/or TypeScript.
  • Caveats (read before relaying): (a) security-specialist door — fits only if the appsec depth above is genuinely present; do NOT claim it from the general platform profile. (b) Distinct from Turing's GenAI Security door (item 14 / Xqiv8zPNaw, "up to $150/hr") — do not merge the two. (c) OpenTrain detail pages carry the 2026-10-13 orphan/expiring caveat (referral scheme retired; pages render but may be expiring) — treat as expiring-class until re-read. (d) Application route requires creating a free OpenTrain account (not a pay-to-eval gate stated on page).
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass — conditional on genuine appsec depth, his call.
  • 2026-10-25 note: today's text fetch confirms title, $150/hr, posted Oct 7, 2026, 20+ h/wk; the page-claimed validThrough 2026-11-23 did not re-appear in the text fetch. It stands on Timmy's host read (reply 86 §4) as the page's own claim, not a fact about the employer's intent. 29 days from 2026-10-25.
  • 2026-10-27 note: title, $150/hr, posted Oct 7, 2026, 20+ h/wk re-confirmed; validThrough 2026-11-23 again absent from the text fetch — stands on Timmy's host read only. 27 days from 2026-10-27.

26. Mercor — "Software Engineering Expert" talent network ($70–150/hr) — POSSIBLE, new 2026-10-25

  • URL: https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABnwpGQEMCh-AXEZdBjbqD/senior-software-engineer-full-stack-typescript-react-aws (canonical page fetched 2026-10-25; the specific Full Stack TS/React/AWS job on it is CLOSED — the open item is the talent network it redirects to)
  • Terms: standing pool — grading model code/design, writing eval problems; DevOps/platform, systems/performance, security tracks; remote, part-time.
  • Pay: $70–$150/hr "set per project" — precision per reply 99 §4: the band is stated about past listings ("have posted at"), not promised for the next project. Carry as a band, not a rate.
  • Gates: no degree stated ("Where you trained matters less than whether you have owned code in production"); ~20-min AI interview; no LinkedIn mandate, no pay-to-eval stated.
  • Caveat: a network, not a dated project — match timing "within a week or several months". Weigh as a pipeline row, not a project door.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass as a pipeline row.

27. Gramian Consulting — "Python Backend Engineer (AI Agents & SaaS Integrations)" ($300/approved task) — WITHDRAWN 2026-10-26 (reply 99 §1)

  • URL: https://builtin.com/job/python-backend-engineer-ai-agents-saas-integrations/10501641 (BuiltIn mirror only; no canonical Gramian page found)
  • Terms were: remote freelance; Python backend apps, REST APIs, microservices, SaaS connectors; build/validate long-horizon AI tasks + rubrics; 2–3 wks, immediate start.
  • Pay was: $300 per approved task, min 1 approved task/day.
  • WITHDRAWN: the mirror itself carries the removal notice above the title — "removed at 10:06 a.m. (UTC) on Thursday, Aug 13, 2026". The 10-25 row dated it from the posting date below the notice; the disposition was wrong, the grading was right. It was never a canonical door, so the aggregate does not move. Today's extracted text again omits the notice (extractor drops it) — that neither re-confirms nor refutes the withdrawal, which stands on the reply-99 corroboration. Do not route Alexander here; not a decision.
  • Obituary note: 300-300 Hourly is the mirror's own field; the pay is per approved task, as the body cell already says.

28. Alignerr — "Senior Software Engineer – AI Evaluation" (possible) — NEW 2026-10-26, PAY CORRECTED 2026-10-27

  • URL: https://www.alignerr.com/jobs/cfa052f0-e721-4ec5-8d38-d697e534081b (LIVE canonical detail page, fetched open 2026-10-26 and 2026-10-27; corroborated by my own read)
  • Terms: hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk.
  • Pay: $60-120/hr on page (Timmy Documented, reply 112 §2: header block under the title, 200/43,029 B). CORRECTION of the 10-26 "not stated" cell — the 10-26 cell was wrong. Provenance caveat: my 10-27 browser.open extraction and the scout instrument's text fetch both surface NO pay line on this page (header block dropped by extraction, same class as Terac $65 / N5) — the cell is Timmy-Documented, not mine; neither corroborated nor refuted on my instrument.
  • Work: design/build scalable evaluation pipelines and frameworks; automated testing harnesses, scoring systems, benchmarking tools for LLMs; APIs, dashboards, internal tools for eval workflows; edge cases, failure modes, reliability issues in AI outputs.
  • Gates: 4+ years professional SWE shipping production systems; strong Python (pandas, NumPy, FastAPI/Flask/Django); large datasets + data pipelines; comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerized deployments — familiarity, not ownership, do not over-claim; Git/CI/CD/testing; written communication, async remote.
  • Fit: strong in-lane — eval infrastructure is the daily audit shape. No degree stated, no LinkedIn mandate, no pay-to-eval stated.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass — at $60-120/hr, top in-band, floor below.

29. Alignerr — "Senior Software Engineer (AI Infrastructure)" (possible) — NEW 2026-10-27

  • Gates: 5+ years, Python/TypeScript/Go/Java or similar; cloud familiarity (AWS/GCP/Azure); Git/CI/CD. No degree stated, no LinkedIn mandate.
  • Pay: not stated in text fetch (same extraction class as item 28 — do not read as pay absent from the page).
  • Counted as ONE role with two city variants, not two projects, unless Timmy's queue rules otherwise.
  • OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: take or pass.

Corrections log (append-only)

  • 2026-10-24: items 5 and 10 CLOSED in the body (per Q3 rule, decisional cells): both canonical pages render AND carry "This job is currently closed and not accepting applications." (two reads this run: my own browser.open + scout instrument). Item 5 ($245–280/hr, published 2026-08-27) and item 10 ($150–200/hr, published 2026-10-12) are withdrawn as application routes; their open decisions are struck above. Corroboration-requested: Timmy host re-read of both banners.

  • 2026-10-24: my 10-23 micro1 "URL-DEAD" verdict WITHDRAWN — the 10-23 fetches hit micro1.ai/post/<uuid> (wrong domain); canonical is jobs.micro1.ai/post/<uuid>, and all five canonical pages render today. The wrong-domain 404s were an instrument error, not closures.

  • 2026-10-24: Alignerr beae0b1f-… URL DEAD (404 on text fetch + live-browser 404 page) — dropped from the tracked set; it never rendered as a posting in this record, so it is not a role closure.

  • 2026-10-24: pay-render variance flagged (not body-corrected): Alignerr N5 $60–80/hr, Terac $65/hr, Terac $39/hr figures — all Timmy-Documented on-page 10-21 — do not appear in the 10-23 or 10-24 renders. Body cells keep Timmy's reads with dated variance notes; a Timmy host re-read settles whether the pages changed or the renders differ.

  • 2026-10-24: item 25 added (OpenTrain GenAI Security Evaluation Engineer, $150/hr, canonical detail page fetched 2026-10-24, posted Oct 7, 2026) — security-conditional, distinct from Turing's GenAI Security door, OpenTrain orphan/expiring caveat carried.

  • 2026-10-23, reply 81: item 13 body corrected in place (per Q3 rule): canonical URL https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/18a809aa-0b7f-4523-ac0e-508c9f0f6f66 is LIVE — independently read from two hosts (Timmy 10-22 + this host 10-23: 200 / 42,473 B, title "Open Source Contributor (GitHub)", ideal_hourly_rate $100–150, published 2026-09-16). The "canonical URL malformed; true UUID unresolved" line is struck; the full UUID was in micro1-oss-maintainer-2026-10-20.md line 39 — the truncation was my write-time error. Verdict now Documented (canonical), GitHub-gate caveat unchanged.

  • 2026-10-23, reply 81: OSS-maintainer promoted to numbered item 24 — https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/51a65c2c-07dd-4307-aba6-f7c4af17311c, LIVE (canonical read 10-20), $150–300/hr, published 2026-08-14, top-band micro1 family alongside items 5 and 10; OPEN FOR ALEXANDER: queue-add his call (via Timmy, not Zeph's relay).

  • 2026-10-22, reply 80: Askable's Series A year corrected in the body (2026 → Dec 2024). The round is real — AU$22M Airtree-led — but it closed Dec 13, 2024 (PRNewswire: "CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2024"; Askable's own blog and Business Insider carry the same). My "sources … all 2026" line (from the 10-21 scout read) was the error source; disambiguation kept: Askable is Brisbane-founded, Goleby's own public profile is SF Bay Area — both true, no edit owed. Daily-2026-10-22.md carries the same error in its §7 line; it is append-only dated record — correction note appended there at the foot, living index here corrected in place per the Q3 rule.

  • 2026-10-25, Timmy host re-read: item 12 (Terac "Part-Time Full-Stack Engineers: Farm-Data Platform", $39/hr) is CLOSED — https://terac.com/opportunities/EW5rvZqnDf0sO6qQ returns HTTP 200 / 215,923 B at 01:14Z with the closure banner twice in the body and isClosed\":true in the embedded JSON; sol's independent 3/3 sweep (8020091, WorkBench) agrees. The body's "LIVE 2026-10-24" line is superseded, so decision item 9 ("take or pass") is now moot rather than pending — no door left to answer. Re-read in the same minute: item 24 (micro1 Open Source GitHub Maintainer, $150–300/hr) LIVE, 200 / 41,581 B, no closure marker; items 5 and 10 were already CLOSED in this file on 10-24, so this sweep adds one closed door, not three.

  • 2026-10-25: item 12 CLOSED in the body (per Q3 rule, decisional cells): live-browser render shows the closure notice verbatim with no Apply button or application form for the listing — corroborating Timmy's 2026-10-25 host re-read (0ba6be9: banner + isClosed:true) and sol's sweep. Decision 9 struck as moot. Text fetches today show no closure language; the notice lives in a rendered side panel text extraction does not surface, so the text fetches neither confirm nor refute it.

  • 2026-10-25: item 25 expiry note updated: page-claimed validThrough 2026-11-23 did not re-appear in today's text fetch; it stands on Timmy's host read (reply 86 §4) as the page's own claim. 29 days from 2026-10-25.

  • 2026-10-25: CUZsKnwt7P stale-risk flag added to §14: "Project start date: May 4, 2026 (Tentative)", rolling — still rendering, no closure marker; weigh as backfill/batch.

  • 2026-10-25: items 26 (Mercor talent network $70–150/hr, possible — network, not a dated project) and 27 (Gramian Python Backend $300/approved task, possible — BuiltIn mirror only, Aug 3 dated, freshness unverified) added.

  • 2026-10-25: OpenTrain "Machine Learning Researcher and Task Reviewer" resolved and screened OUT: canonical detail page found (posted Oct 23, 2026, $60–$120/hr equiv) but it requires a master's degree or PhD — degree-gated, not queued. No longer carried as listing-level-only.

  • 2026-10-26: item 27 WITHDRAWN in the body (reply 99 §1): the BuiltIn mirror carries "removed at 10:06 a.m. (UTC) on Thursday, Aug 13, 2026" above the title. The 10-25 "possible, freshness unverified" disposition was wrong; grading (pay, terms, mirror-only status) was right. Never a canonical door; aggregate unchanged. Not a decision for Alexander.

  • 2026-10-26: item 12 text-fetch sentence corrected (reply 99 §2): the closure banner IS in a plain text fetch (200/213,617 B, twice); the scout extractor drops the panel, the plain fetch surfaces it. The 10-25 corrections-log sentence ("text fetches neither confirm nor refute") stands as dated record, corrected beside it here.

  • 2026-10-26: Terac $65 cell upgraded to live-render confirmed: live render shows side panel "Earn $65 per hour" + Apply button, no closure notice. N5 ($60–80/hr) still owes the same two-instrument test.

  • 2026-10-26: Mercor band precision applied (reply 99 §4): $70–150/hr is about past listings ("have posted at"), not a promised rate.

  • 2026-10-26: item 28 added — Alignerr "Senior Software Engineer – AI Evaluation" (canonical, fetched open + corroborated by my own read): hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk, pay unstated, 4+ yrs Python eval-infra. Take-or-pass (decision 13).

  • 2026-10-26: Lever Worldscape gate line corrected (reply 100 §5a) in daily-2026-10-26.md §2: "LinkedIn auto-complete + candidate attestations + hCaptcha-on-submit" (static text does not surface the submit-path captcha). Palantir pairing correction (reply 100 §5b) logged in the same file: a92b55d0 (Senior, 2026-04-06) ≠ 10dfc8bc (non-Senior, 2024-03-11).

  • 2026-10-26: Ashby Ramp code-sample question presence confirmed a second day on my instrument (10-26 fetch); content deliberately not reproduced (safety notice on the embedded task — not decoded, not run, not quoted). "Agent stop" presence-confirmed; content ungraded.

  • 2026-10-27: item 28 pay CORRECTED in the body (reply 112 §2): $60-120/hr on page (Timmy Documented, 200/43,029 B) — the 10-26 "not stated" cell was wrong. Caveat: my 10-27 extraction + scout text fetch surface no pay line (header block dropped by extraction, same class as Terac $65 / N5) — cell is Timmy-Documented, not mine. Decision 13 reworded.

  • 2026-10-27: Terac $65 instrument sentence corrected (reply 112 §0.2/§2): pay is ALSO in the fetched bytes (Timmy raw fetch 200/224,340 B, twice) — "render-only" was an extractor property. Today's text-only sweep again drops the panel — consistent, not contradictory. Door stays live on the 10-26 render.

  • 2026-10-27: Ashby Ramp code-sample question presence confirmed a third day on my instrument (10-27 fetch); content withheld as before. Workday NVIDIA probe window closes 2026-10-28 (live browser + text fetch agree) — probe role only.

  • 2026-10-27: items 29 (Alignerr Senior SWE – AI Infrastructure, Seattle + New York variants, one role) and 30 (Alignerr Senior Systems Engineer – AI Data & Infrastructure) added as possible — canonical pages fetched open, hourly contract, remote, 20–40 h/wk, pay unstated in text fetch. Decisions 14–15.

  • 2026-10-27: item 25 expiry note updated: page-claimed validThrough 2026-11-23 stands on Timmy's host read only; 27 days from 2026-10-27.
