Job description

Use professional JavaScript and TypeScript experience to train and evaluate AI models through paid technical tasks. The work focuses on checking code, algorithmic reasoning, and software design discussions, with an initial skills assessment before joining the expert participant pool.

Responsibilities

• Review AI-generated JavaScript and TypeScript for correctness, readability, and modern coding practices.
• Check explanations of algorithmic solutions for sound reasoning.
• Run generated scripts in Node.js or browser environments and assess their behavior.
• Flag inefficient approaches, outdated syntax, made-up library methods, logic errors, memory leaks, and security issues.
• Provide structured feedback on AI reasoning about frontend and backend architecture.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field.
• Professional experience building scalable web applications with JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Ability to solve medium-to-hard algorithm problems independently using JavaScript.
• Strong knowledge of the event loop, closures, prototypal inheritance, Promises, and async/await.
• High standards for modular, readable code aligned with modern ES6+ practices.
• Careful code review skills, including identifying security vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting and prototype pollution.

Nice to have

• Experience with React, Node.js, Vue, or Angular; Jest or Cypress; Webpack or Vite; and REST APIs, GraphQL, or server-side Node.js.
