This role involves designing and building server-side systems, APIs, and data pipelines for AI infrastructure. Back end developers will optimize scalable microservices and databases to support AI training and inference workloads on a remote, flexible contract basis.
This role involves designing and optimizing high-performance C backend systems and data pipelines for AI model training and evaluation. The position is ideal for experienced full-stack engineers who want to build production-grade infrastructure used by leading AI research organizations.
A Full Stack Engineer working with frontier AI models to evaluate their ability to build complete applications across frontend, API, and database layers. You will trace features through the entire stack to identify where models fail, write corrected versions when needed, and provide detailed explanations that serve as training data for improving future model outputs.
Backend engineers will evaluate how AI models reason about system design, data modeling, and API contracts, identifying failures like race conditions and N+1 queries that only surface under real load. The role involves stress-testing model-generated backend code and writing correct solutions when models fall short, with explicit attention to scaling and consistency trade-offs.
Evaluation and comparison of AI model solutions on realistic software engineering tasks: debugging, cross-repository logic tracing, feature implementation, code review, architecture decisions.
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.
