UI Engineer

AuraOne; United States; Remote; USD 82,656 - 151,536; Part time

Job summary

AuraOne is seeking a remote UI Engineer reviewer to evaluate production code, reproduce candidate outputs, and write minimal failing tests. You will grade solutions for correctness, complexity, and edge-case handling, then document failures to help the modeling team target gaps.

Strong debugging, concise testing, and clear reasoning are essential. This contractor role requires reliable weekly availability and the ability to work asynchronously from within the United States.

Qualifications

• Strong day-job engineering experience—read, run, and debug unfamiliar UI code.
• Ability to write concise unit tests capturing a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with at least one testing framework (pytest, Jest, JUnit, Go test, RSpec, or equivalent).
• Clear written reasoning in review notes to convince senior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate UI engineer outputs in a sandboxed environment.
• Grade UI engineer solutions for correctness, complexity, idiomatic style, and edge-case handling.
• Write minimal failing tests that demonstrate bugs.
• Compare paired solutions and rank them with written rationale tied to a rubric.
• Tag failure modes (compile error, runtime crash, off-by-one, security issue) with severity scores.
• Document recurring code-generation failures for the modeling team.
• Calibrate against gold-standard reviews to maintain inter-rater agreement.

Job description

UI Engineer is a remote engineering review track for evaluating production code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs against real-world correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write the unit test the model should have written, and explain the fix so the modeling team can target the gap.

Why this role matters

Engineering model quality lives or dies on whether the generated code actually compiles, passes tests, and handles edge cases. AuraOne pairs experienced engineers with the modeling team to grade outputs the way a code reviewer would.

Responsibilities

• Run and reproduce candidate code outputs in a sandboxed environment for UI Engineer assignments.
• Grade ui engineer engineering review 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.

Qualifications

• Strong day-job engineering experience — you can read, run, and debug unfamiliar code for UI Engineer work.
• Comfort writing concise unit tests that capture a single failure mode.
• Familiarity with at least one of: 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.

Example tasks

• Reproduce a generated engineering solution to a coding task, run the test suite, and grade it.
• Write the smallest failing test that demonstrates a model's edge-case bug.
• Compare two paired solutions and rank them with a written rationale tied to the rubric.
• Triage a security issue surfaced by a model and document the patch the model should have produced.

Nice to have

• Open-source contributions or a public portfolio that demonstrates production-quality code.
• Experience with the target language's standard tooling, linters, and idiomatic style guides.
• Familiarity with security-review checklists (OWASP, CWE) and AppSec patterns.

• Code review
• Debugging
• Unit testing
• Software engineering judgment
