Descrizione del lavoro

Role overview

Contribute senior Python engineering expertise to training and evaluating AI models through paid, task-based work. The focus is reviewing generated code and technical explanations, testing outputs, and giving structured feedback on software engineering topics. An initial skills assessment is part of the application process.

Responsibilities

• Assess generated Python code for correctness, readability, and sound engineering practices.
• Check algorithm explanations for valid reasoning and identify gaps or errors.
• Run scripts to verify behavior, output, and performance.
• Flag inefficient approaches, outdated syntax, and unsupported library usage.
• Give feedback on model responses involving backend design, data pipelines, and APIs.
• Help improve AI systems’ ability to interpret and summarize complex technical and scientific material.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Professional experience as a senior software engineer or developer specializing in Python.
• Ability to solve medium-to-hard algorithmic programming problems independently.
• Strong knowledge of Python internals and features, including the GIL, decorators, generators, memory management, and asynchronous programming.
• High standards for modular, readable code that follows established Python conventions.
• Careful review skills to detect logic errors, memory leaks, and security weaknesses.
• Experience with Python 3, type hints, and at least one of Django, FastAPI, or Flask; familiarity with automated testing tools and REST or GraphQL APIs is also expected.

Benefits and work setup

• Tasks are flexible and remote. Some require one uninterrupted hour, though shorter assignments may also be available.
• Listed task rates can reach $50 per hour, depending on skills and experience.
