Job Summary

In this role as a Senior Software Engineer supporting AI Training and evaluation initiatives, you will apply your software engineering expertise to help train, evaluate, and improve next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, generate code, and solve complex engineering problems through high-quality, real-world technical input.

This is an hourly-paid contract opportunity, not a traditional software development position. Contributors will work on project-based AI training and evaluation tasks involving code review, debugging, system design, software analysis, and technical assessments. No prior experience in AI is required — your software engineering expertise is what matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute expert-level software engineering knowledge to AI training, benchmarking, and evaluation initiatives.
• Review, analyze, and improve code related to bug fixing, feature implementation, codebase refactoring, and performance optimization across multiple programming languages.
• Evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, efficiency, scalability, and adherence to software engineering best practices.
• Contribute to AI training and evaluation projects through coding assessments, technical reviews, software reasoning tasks, and benchmarking workflows.
• Analyze software architectures and recommend technical improvements based on real-world engineering standards.
• Develop clear technical explanations, documentation, and best-practice guidance to support AI model improvement.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to provide domain expertise and actionable feedback on model performance.
• Support the continuous improvement of AI systems by applying advanced software engineering judgment in complex technical scenarios.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in Python, Java, Rust, or TypeScript.
• Additional experience with C++, Go, or other systems programming languages is highly desirable.
• Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, software design principles, and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated experience debugging complex software systems and delivering maintainable, production-quality solutions.
• Strong background in feature development, software architecture, and codebase refactoring.
• Experience optimizing applications for scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to technical accuracy and detail.
• Proven success collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams, including remote environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with large-scale, distributed, or cloud-native systems.
• Familiarity with AI, machine learning, developer tools, or data-intensive applications.
• Experience conducting rigorous code reviews and establishing engineering best practices.
• Background creating technical assessments, coding challenges, or engineering evaluation frameworks.
• Experience contributing to open-source projects or large collaborative codebases.

Additional Information

We are seeking highly skilled Software Engineers with expertise in Python, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript to help shape the next generation of AI systems. Your real-world engineering experience will directly contribute to improving AI capabilities in coding, debugging, software design, and technical reasoning while working in a flexible, fully remote environment.
