This role involves writing, debugging, and evaluating AI-generated code to help train and improve AI coding assistants. Software engineers will review code quality, identify bugs and security issues, provide detailed feedback, and design test scenarios to stress-test AI capabilities across various programming languages and frameworks.
This remote contract role asks senior full-stack engineers to assess AI-generated code across frontend and backend, judging correctness, quality, and security. It also involves building internal tooling for data annotation and reviewing system designs. It suits experienced engineers who can give precise written feedback that helps AI models write better code.
This contract role asks experienced software engineers to design reproducible reinforcement learning environments that test whether AI models can fix bugs, add features, refactor code, and optimize performance. Each task comes with a golden reference solution and a deterministic verifier. It suits backend developers with public open source work who can judge code quality, and no prior AI experience is required.
