We're looking for highly experienced software engineer (SR+) to help evaluate the quality of interactions with modern coding agents such as Open AI Codex and Claude Code.
This is not a traditional engineering role. You won't be writing production code. You'll be evaluating something harder: whether the model thinks like a great engineer.
What this role actually is Whether the response makes sense
Whether the preamble and reasoning are useful
Whether the output reflects strong engineering judgment
Whether the interaction feels right to an experienced developer This role is about engineering taste. Syntax correctness is the easy part.
What you’ll be doing Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end to end
Judge whether outputs are useful, correct at a high level, and aligned with how a strong engineer would think
Assess the quality of explanations and reasoning, not just the code
Distinguish between levels of response quality (what makes something a 2 vs a 4)
Give clear, opinionated feedback in writing on what worked, what didn't, and what felt off or misleading




Help define what great looks like when working with tools like Cursor, Codex and Claude Code What we mean by "taste" Does this feel like something a strong engineer would actually say?
Is this explanation helpful, or just technically correct?
Is the model guiding the user well, or just dumping output?
Would this interaction build or erode trust? You should be comfortable making subjective but rigorous judgments, and explaining them clearly.
Who you are Senior, Staff or Principal-level engineer (or equivalent experience)
Hands-on experience with at least one of Open AI Codex, Claude Code or Cursor
Deep familiarity with modern AI-assisted dev workflows
Able to evaluate code without executing it or reviewing every line
Robust written and spoken English (B2 or above). You'll be writing detailed feedback and recording short video explanations, so this is a hard requirement
Comfortable giving direct, opinionated feedback
High bar for what good engineering looks like Nice to have Prior exposure to prompt design or evaluation workflows
Experience mentoring senior engineers or defining engineering standards
Rate: $100-$200/hour depending on experience and location
Duration: ongoing. Projects run from about two weeks to a few months each, and we offer new ones to evaluators who do well
Start: as soon as you clear the take-home and a project has an open seat
Process: one take-home evaluation exercise with a recorded Loom walkthrough. No interview
