This remote contract role involves designing and building the software that measures how well AI models perform, including evaluation pipelines, automated testing harnesses, and internal dashboards and APIs. It suits senior engineers who have shipped production systems and want to work closely with AI research teams on reliable, repeatable evaluation tooling.
Evaluation and comparison of AI model solutions on realistic software engineering tasks: debugging, cross-repository logic tracing, feature implementation, code review, architecture decisions.
This role involves evaluating and providing feedback on AI-generated Python code for correctness, efficiency, and security while designing complex backend algorithmic solutions. It is designed for experienced backend Python developers who want to contribute to cutting-edge AI research by helping train the next generation of AI systems to write better code.
This remote study asks practicing software engineers to review programming tasks and the evaluation harnesses built to test AI agents on them. You will check whether the tasks, test cases and environment structure reflect realistic software engineering work. It suits engineers with solid experience building, testing and reviewing complex systems.
