Job description

Role Overview

Help shape how frontier AI systems are trained and evaluated by applying production software engineering judgment to real-world code, designs, requirements, and failure modes. This is an ongoing talent pool for AI training and evaluation projects, rather than a single immediate opening. Projects may begin on short notice, and candidates are contacted when a project matches their technical background.

Key Responsibilities

Create engineering problems based on systems you have shipped, including requirements, constraints, failure modes, and reference answers used to assess model outputs.

Evaluate AI-generated code and technical designs for edge-case handling, appropriate complexity, and whether tests validate the behavior they claim to test.

Identify code that may pass review but fail in production because of concurrency, scale, error handling, or operating costs.

Qualifications

Professional experience building and shipping software.

Strong written communication and the ability to clearly explain technical reasoning.

Comfort working through ambiguous tasks and flagging unclear instructions.

Experience owning production code and addressing its real-world behavior is valued more than training background.

Technical Coverage

Frontend engineering, including React, TypeScript, and Next.js.

Backend engineering, including Java, Go, and Node.js, as well as full-stack development.

Mobile development for Android and iOS, embedded systems, and IoT.

DevOps, platform, systems, performance, QA, automation, and security engineering.

Work Terms

Remote, hourly engagement.

This listing is a standing pool and does not itself result in an acceptance or rejection decision.

Project invitations are based on relevant stack or specialty. A specific project listing will identify its rate, hours, and client, and any hiring decision occurs for that project.

Contact timing depends on available client projects and may range from a week to several months.

Compensation

Typical project rates range from $70 to $150 per hour, determined by project scope and depth.

Application Process and Eligibility

Apply with a resume, confirm your work location, and complete a short AI interview of about 20 minutes.

Your background will be verified before you are added to the software engineering talent pool.

Completing the domain-expert interview and joining each network for which you qualify can improve matching opportunities.

You register once to be eligible across all networks for which you qualify.

Who can apply

Review the original listing for work authorization, qualifications and employer requirements.
