Remote Database Reliability Engineer - Code Review & Tests

AuraOne; United States; On-site; USD 83,000 - 165,000; Part time

Job summary

AuraOne is seeking a Senior Database Reliability Engineer on a remote US contractor basis to evaluate production code, reproduce failures, and craft minimal failing tests. You will explain fixes so the modeling team can target gaps and ensure code correctness across edge cases.

You will review outputs, grade solutions for correctness and style, and document patterns to help improve future model reliability.

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Senior Database Reliability Engineer assignments.
• Grade database 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.
• Document recurring code-generation failures so the modeling team can target them.
• Calibrate against gold-standard reviews to keep inter-rater agreement above target.
