Senior Software Engineer - 35501

Project Overview
We are developing high-quality training and evaluation datasets to improve how Large Language Models (LLMs) perform on real software engineering problems. The core of this project involves identifying and curating verifiable coding tasks from public GitHub repositories, supported by a human-in-the-loop review process.

As a contractor on this project, you will review code written by AI to solve real software tasks. Your feedback will help improve how future AI models learn to write and understand code.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and compare 3–4 model-generated code responses for each task using a structured ranking framework
• Assess code changes (diffs) for correctness, quality, readability, and performance
• Provide clear, concise explanations for your ranking decisions
• Maintain consistency and fairness across all evaluations
• Identify and document edge cases or unusual model behavior
• Collaborate with the team to improve evaluation processes and identify improvement areas

Required Qualifications
Professional Experience

• Several years of experience as a software engineer (experience working as a data scientist will not be considered)
• Minimum 2 years of experience as a full-stack engineer at a leading tech product company (e.g., Google, Shopify, Microsoft, Snowflake, Meta, PayPal, etc.)

Note: Experience from contractual or part-time roles will not be considered. Only full-time employment qualifies.

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of software design, debugging, and engineering best practices
• Familiarity with code review processes and version control systems
• Ability to analyze and compare real-world code changes
• Excellent written communication skills for clearly explaining technical evaluations

Preferred Qualifications
Degree from a top-ranked university is preferred but not required
Experience working with LLM-generated code or AI evaluation projects
Background in developer tools or systems automation
Exposure to AI research or developer agents

Engagement Details
Type: Contract (no medical benefits or paid leave)
Commitment: 10–20 hours/week, with flexible work hours (partial overlap with Pacific Time)
Duration: 1 month (starting next week, with potential for extension)
Compensation: $50–$150/hour, based on experience, geography, and skill level
