Job summary

AI Trainer Jobs seeks a Drilling/Production Engineer for remote engagement evaluating production code, debugging traces, and AI outputs against real-world correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write unit tests, and explain fixes to guide the modeling team.

You will work in a sandbox, grade solutions for correctness and edge cases, and draft minimal failing tests. Strong engineering judgment and ability to articulate reasoning to senior engineers are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong day-job engineering experience reading, running, and debugging unfamiliar code.
• Ability to write concise unit tests that capture a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with a testing framework (pytest, Jest, JUnit, etc.).
• Clear written reasoning to convince a senior engineer.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment.
• Grade drilling/production engineer solutions for correctness, style, and edge-case handling.
• Write minimal failing tests demonstrating the bug a model output missed.
• Compare paired solutions and rank them with a rubric-based rationale.
• Triage a security issue and document the patch the model should have produced.

Job description

Drilling/Production Engineer is a remote engineering review track for evaluating production code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs against real-world correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write the unit test the model should have written, and explain the fix so the modeling team can target the gap.

Drilling/Production Engineer is a remote engineering review track for evaluating production code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs against real-world correctness standards.

Role details

About the role

Drilling/Production Engineer is a remote engineering review track for evaluating production code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs against real-world correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write the unit test the model should have written, and explain the fix so the modeling team can target the gap.
Engineering model quality lives or dies on whether the generated code actually compiles, passes tests, and handles edge cases. AuraOne pairs experienced engineers with the modeling team to grade outputs the way a code reviewer would.
Judge generated code and software engineering agents. Read their debugging traces.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Drilling/Production Engineer assignments.
• Grade drilling/production engineer engineering review solutions for correctness, style, and edge-case handling.
• Write minimal failing tests that demonstrate the bug a model output missed.
• Compare paired solutions and rank them with a written rationale tied to the rubric.Track Code review & evaluation Work model Remote · Independent specialist contractor Compensation $85 / hr Eligible from US

What you should bring

• Strong day-job engineering experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for Drilling/Production Engineer work.
• Comfort writing concise unit tests that capture a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with a testing framework. pytest, Jest, or JUnit. Go test, RSpec, or whatever you use.
• Clear written reasoning — your review note has to convince another senior engineer.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.
• Prior code-review or technical-interview-grading experience is a plus.

Role signals

Example tasks

• Reproduce a generated engineering solution to a coding task, run the test suite, and grade it.
• Write the smallest failing test that demonstrates a model's edge-case bug.
• Compare two paired solutions and rank them with a written rationale tied to the rubric.
• Triage a security issue surfaced by a model and document the patch the model should have produced.

Useful experience

• Open-source contributions or a public portfolio that demonstrates production-quality code.
• Experience with the target language's standard tooling, linters, and idiomatic style guides.
• Familiarity with security-review checklists (OWASP, CWE) and AppSec patterns.

Compensation and schedule
