Job summary

AuraOne, Inc. is seeking a Backend Security Engineer for a remote, contractor-track role focused on evaluating production code, reproducing failures, and authoring minimal failing tests to guide model improvements.

The role requires strong debugging, code-review, and testing skills, with the ability to read unfamiliar code and reason clearly for senior engineers. Availability of ~10 hours weekly is expected.

Qualifications

• Strong day-job engineering experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for Backend Security Engineer work.
• Comfort writing concise unit tests that capture a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with a testing framework (pytest, Jest, JUnit, Go test, RSpec or equivalent).
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Backend Security Engineer assignments.
• Grade backend 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 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.
