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.

• 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.

• 5+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience.
• Strong experience in at least one backend or full‑stack engineering environment, such as Python, JavaScript/Type Script, Node.js, Java, C#, .NET, C++, Go, Ruby, PHP, or similar.
• Experience building, maintaining, or reviewing production‑level applications, APIs, services, databases, or integrations.
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including debugging, testing, code quality, architecture, and technical tradeoffs.
• Ability to explain complex engineering decisions clearly and objectively.
• Comfortable reading and reasoning through unfamiliar code or technical requirements.

• Experience with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Dev Ops workflows, containers, monitoring, or production operations.
• Experience with frontend frameworks such as React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, or React Native.
• Open‑source contributions, public Git Hub work, technical writing, or strong examples of past engineering work.
• Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing code, or making architecture decisions.
