Job Summary

We are looking for experienced software engineers to help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems through real-world software engineering tasks. This role is best suited for developers who can reason through unfamiliar codebases, explain engineering decisions clearly, and solve practical backend, full-stack, systems, or infrastructure-related problems.

No prior AI experience is required. What matters most is strong software engineering judgment, clean technical communication, and the ability to evaluate code, architecture, tradeoffs, and implementation quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Work on challenging software engineering tasks across backend, full-stack, infrastructure, and systems-related projects.
• Review, debug, improve, and explain code across different technical environments.
• Design or evaluate practical solutions involving APIs, databases, services, integrations, testing, and deployment workflows.
• Identify tradeoffs around scalability, maintainability, performance, reliability, security, and developer experience.
• Communicate technical reasoning clearly in writing, including why a solution works and what alternatives were considered.
• Collaborate with the customer’s team on technical reviews, implementation decisions, and problem-solving exercises.
• Adapt quickly to new codebases, frameworks, and technical requirements.
