this job
We're looking for highly experienced software engineer (SR+) to help evaluate the quality of interactions with modern coding agents such as OpenAI 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 senseWhether the preamble and reasoning are usefulWhether the output reflects strong engineering judgmentWhether the interaction feels right to an experienced developerThis role is about engineering taste. Syntax correctness is the easy part.What you’ll be doing
Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end to endJudge whether outputs are useful, correct at a high level, and aligned with how a strong engineer would thinkAssess the quality of explanations and reasoning, not just the codeDistinguish 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 misleadingHelp define what great looks like when working with tools like Cursor, Codex and Claude CodeWhat 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 OpenAI Codex, Claude Code or CursorDeep familiarity with modern AI-assisted dev workflowsAble to evaluate code without executing it or reviewing every lineStrong written and spoken English (B2 or above). You'll be writing detailed feedback and recording short video explanations, so this is a hard requirementComfortable giving direct, opinionated feedbackHigh bar for what good engineering looks likeNice to have
Prior exposure to prompt design or evaluation workflowsExperience mentoring senior engineers or defining engineering standardsRate: $100-$200/hour depending on experience and locationDuration: ongoing. Projects run from about two weeks to a few months each, and we offer new ones to evaluators who do wellStart: as soon as you clear the take-home and a project has an open seatProcess: one take-home evaluation exercise with a recorded Loom walkthrough.
