TypeScript Team Lead

Pay: up to $70/hour

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Type Script Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Type Script AI training projects. You will review AI-generated Type Script code and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards.

You will assess work for code correctness, type safety, reasoning quality, runtime behavior, debugging accuracy, readability, maintainability, performance, security awareness, test coverage, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role requires strong Type Script expertise, strong English communication skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote technical teams.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of Super Annotate, delivering training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Type Script quality leadership will directly help improve the world's premier AI models by ensuring that Type Script training data is accurate, type-safe, executable, logically sound, clearly explained, well-documented, and aligned with client expectations.

Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and an interview with a recruiter.

• Quality monitoring:
  Spot-check Type Script items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback through DMs, and elevate recurring or critical issues.
• Code review:
  Evaluate AI-generated Type Script code, type definitions, debugging responses, implementation explanations, frontend/backend snippets, tests, and step-by-step reasoning for correctness, type safety, and clarity.
• Trainer and QA communication:
  Update trainers and QAs on Discord about new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and Type Script-specific review standards.
• Question handling:
  Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around type safety, inference, generics, strict mode, async logic, browser vs Node.js environments, frameworks, testing, edge cases, and rubric interpretation.

• Quality alignment:
  Ensure all trainers and QAs apply Type Script review guidelines consistently and understand updates as projects evolve.
• Risk and security review:
  Flag unsafe, misleading, insecure, or overconfident code recommendations, especially around type bypassing, unsafe casts, dependency usage, authentication, data handling, and production readiness.
• Process improvement:
  Identify recurring quality gaps, propose workflow improvements, and help build scalable QA processes for Type Script AI training projects.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related field; equivalent professional software engineering experience may be considered.
• Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear technical feedback in English.
• 3+ years of professional experience in Type Script development, JavaScript development, frontend engineering, backend development with Node.js, full-stack engineering, code review, software QA, technical mentoring, or related workflows.
