Lua Programmer

Organization: Alignerr · Type: Hourly Contract · Location: Remote · Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

About the Role

What if your Lua expertise could directly influence how AI writes code for millions of developers and creators around the world? We're looking for experienced Lua programmers to review, evaluate, and improve AI-generated Lua code — helping ensure the next generation of AI coding tools actually gets Lua right.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for developers who know Lua inside and out. Whether you've built game systems in Roblox Studio, shipped production Lua in embedded environments, or scripted across game engines, this is a rare chance to apply that deep knowledge to cutting-edge AI development.

What You'll Do

• Review and evaluate AI-generated Lua code for correctness, efficiency, and adherence to best practices
• Identify logical errors, performance bottlenecks, and implementation gaps in AI outputs
• Provide clear, structured written feedback that directly helps AI systems improve
• Complete diverse, task-based technical assignments with precision and consistency
• Apply your real-world Lua experience to assess code quality across a wide range of problem types
• Contribute directly to improving AI reasoning and coding accuracy in Lua-based environments
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Must-Have

• Advanced proficiency in Lua programming
• Experience working with Roblox Studio or the Roblox platform
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured technical guidelines
• Clear, confident written communication skills in English

Nice to Have

• Professional background in game development or interactive media
• Experience reviewing, mentoring, or evaluating other developers' code
• Familiarity with performance optimization and debugging practices in Lua
• Exposure to Lua scripting environments beyond Roblox — embedded systems, game engines (Corona/Solar2D, LÖVE, Defold), or similar
• Experience with AI tools or code evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and generates Lua code
• Engage in intellectually stimulating work that keeps your skills sharp
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
