About This Role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Python Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Python AI training projects. You’ll review AI‑generated Python code and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure contributors follow expected quality standards. You will assess work for code correctness, runtime behavior, debugging accuracy, readability, maintainability, performance, security awareness, test coverage, formatting, instruction‑following, and adherence to project‑specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role is a fast‑growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation‑model labs. Your Python quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that Python training data is accurate, executable, idiomatic, clearly explained, well‑documented, and aligned with client expectations. The selection process involves an AI interview, a domain‑specific task, and an interview with a recruiter. Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, or equivalent professional software engineering experience.

• 3+ years of professional experience in Python development, backend engineering, automation, scripting, data workflows, code review, QA, teaching, or technical mentoring.
• Strong understanding of Python fundamentals such as data structures, functions, classes, modules, exceptions, comprehensions, iterators, generators, decorators, context managers, virtual environments, packaging, and testing.
• Ability to evaluate Python content against rubrics and identify issues such as incorrect logic, non‑executable code, poor exception handling, inefficient algorithms, unsafe file/network operations, hallucinated APIs, or incomplete explanations.
• Familiarity with pytest, unittest, typing, mypy, pip, poetry, virtualenv, FastAPI, Flask, Django, requests, asyncio, pandas, SQLAlchemy, GitHub, Docker, and CI/CD is preferred.
• Experience leading or supporting remote teams of trainers, engineers, reviewers, annotators, educators, or QAs is strongly preferred.

• Highly organized and able to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, honeypots, calibration tasks, and documentation.
• Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, code QA, or rubric‑based code review is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Spot‑check Python items, identify quality issues, provide feedback through DMs, and elevate recurring or critical issues.
• Review AI‑generated Python code, debugging responses, algorithms, backend snippets, automation scripts, tests, and explanations.
• Update trainers/QAs on Discord about guidelines, workflow updates, and Python‑specific quality expectations.
• Respond to questions around Python syntax, runtime behavior, exceptions, package usage, testing, typing, security, performance, and rubric interpretation.
• DM inactive contributors, encourage activation, track follow‑ups, and flag availability issues.
• Create and maintain Python documentation, style guides, trackers, FAQs, examples, honeypots, and onboarding materials.
