Remote Backend Code-Review Engineer (Contract)

AuraOne; United States; On-site; USD 99,187 - 165,312; Part time

Job summary

AuraOne seeks a Backend Engineer reviewer to evaluate production code, run tests, and assess AI outputs for correctness, edge cases, and style. You will reproduce outputs in a sandbox and write tests to demonstrate issues, guiding improvements for the modeling team.

Ideal candidates will have strong backend experience, be able to reason clearly in writing, and commit to at least 10 hours weekly in a remote, US-eligible contractor role.

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Backend Engineer assignments.
• Grade backend engineering solutions for correctness, complexity, idiomatic 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.
• Document recurring code-generation failures so the modeling team can target them.
• Calibrate against gold-standard reviews to keep inter-rater agreement above target.
