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.
