Project Engineer

AI Trainer Jobs; United States; Remote; USD 160,000 - 190,000; Part time

Job summary

AI Trainer Jobs is seeking a Project Engineer for a remote contractor role focused on evaluating production code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs to ensure real-world correctness. 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 hinges on code compiling, tests passing, and proper edge-case handling.

Qualifications

• Strong day-job engineering experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for Project Engineer work.
• Comfort writing concise unit tests that capture a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with a testing framework (pytest, Jest, JUnit, Go test, RSpec).
• Clear written reasoning — your review note must convince a senior engineer.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Project Engineer assignments.
• Grade project engineer 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 rubric-based rationale.
• Tag failure modes with severity scores.

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

About the role

Project 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 Project Engineer assignments.
• Grade project 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.
• Tag failure modes (compile error, runtime crash, off-by-one, security issue) with severity scores.

What you should bring

• Strong day-job engineering experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for Project 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.

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

$85 / hr
Expected arrangement: contractor , with program-defined task volume and review pacing. Placement depends on current program demand and reviewer confirmation.
