Flexible remote work

Project-based work

Descripción de la vacante

DataAnnotation is seeking contributors to validate and stress-test AI models by running real engineering tasks, fixing bugs, and extending APIs. You’ll analyze model outputs against production standards and document failures to improve future iterations.

Prior open-source experience is valued, and a strong command of English is required. The role emphasizes remote collaboration and project-based work without a fixed degree requirement.

Formación

• Professional or serious open-source experience shipping production code.
• Clear written English is essential as your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required—what you can do matters, not where you learned it.

Responsabilidades

• Run agentic coding sessions on real engineering tasks and analyze model outputs.
• Red-team models to expose unsafe code, fake test passes, and confidently wrong solutions.
• Document failures to teach the next generation of coding agents.

Descripción del empleo

The newest models can vibe-code a whole feature in minutes. Someone has to check whether that code actually works, and that someone is you.

You'll run agentic coding sessions on real engineering tasks, analyze what the models produce, and red-team them until they fail in interesting ways. Every failure you document teaches the next generation of coding agents.

What you’ll actually do

• Vibe-code with frontier models on real tasks: fix a bug, extend an API, ship a feature, and see how far the model gets on its own.
• Analyze the AI's work against production standards: find the bugs, explain the failure, and rate the model's reasoning.
• Red-team the models to expose unsafe code, faked test passes, and confidently wrong solutions before real users hit them.

What we look for

• Professional or serious open-source experience shipping production code.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
