Job summary

AuraOne seeks a Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) for remote, contract work to evaluate C++ code, debugging traces, and AI outputs against correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write unit tests, and explain fixes to guide the modeling team.

Responsibilities include running tasks in sandboxed environments, grading Python solutions for correctness, and writing minimal failing tests with clear rationales, while tagging failure modes and severity.

Qualifications

• Experience reading, running, and debugging unfamiliar C++ code.
• Ability to write concise unit tests for a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks and code-review processes.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce C++ outputs in a sandboxed environment.
• Grade Python engineering solutions for correctness, style, and edge-case handling.
• Write the smallest failing test that demonstrates a model's edge-case bug.
• Compare paired solutions and provide a rubric-based rationale.

Job description

Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) — IN is a remote engineering review track for evaluating C++ 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.

Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) — IN is a remote engineering review track for evaluating C++ 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.

About the role

Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) — IN is a remote engineering review track for evaluating C++ 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.
C++ 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 C++ code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) — IN assignments.
• Grade python engineering 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.
• Tag failure modes (compile error, runtime crash, off-by-one, security issue) with severity scores.

What you should bring

• Strong day-job C++ experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) — IN 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 C++ 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 C++'s standard tooling, linters, and idiomatic style guides.
• Familiarity with security-review checklists (OWASP, CWE) and AppSec patterns.
