Job Description

Salary: $? - ? per year Requirements:

  • Several years of software engineering experience (3 years or more)
  • Strong expertise in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development using languages like Python, C/C++, Rust, and Go.
  • Experience building and deploying scalable, production-grade software using modern languages and tools.
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality/review assessment.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales.
Responsibilities:
  • Ideal Background
  • This role is ideal for engineers who have built production systems at companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, or similar high-scale engineering organizations. We especially welcome graduates from programs with strong CS foundations such as University of Washington, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UT Austin, University of Michigan, Purdue, and comparable institutions — though exceptional experience and skill always take precedence over pedigree.
  • Project Overview:
  • As a Software Engineering evaluator, you will create cutting-edge datasets for training, benchmarking, and advancing large language models, collaborating closely with researchers. This includes curating code examples, providing precise solutions, and making corrections in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS) — with particular emphasis on systems-level code, performance-critical applications, and infrastructure. You will evaluate and refine AI-generated code for efficiency, scalability, and reliability, and work with cross-functional teams to enhance enterprise-level AI-driven coding solutions.
  • What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
  • Work on AI model training initiatives by curating code examples, building solutions, and correcting code in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS).
  • Evaluate and refine AI-generated code with an emphasis on systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks.
  • Build agents that can verify the quality of systems-level and infrastructure code and identify error patterns.
  • Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them.
  • Design verification mechanisms that can automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task.
