Overview

You'll join an expert annotation team to create training data for for the worlds most advanced AI models. No previous AI experience is necessary. You'll get your foot in the door with one of the biggest players in the AI/LLM space today. We are seeking software engineers with 3+ years of experience to train AI large language models, helping cutting-edge generative AI models write better code. Projects typically include discrete, highly variable problems that involve engaging with these models as they learn to code. We currently have 200+ roles open!

What Will I Be Doing?

• Evaluating the quality of AI-generated code, including human-readable summaries of your rationale

• Solve coding problems, writing functional and efficient code

• Writing robust test cases to confirm code works efficiently and effectively

• We asked the technical project manager to go into even more detail and this is how he answered: It is solving coding challenges, creating instructions to help others, reviewing the code before it goes into the model, and there's a ton of variety in the projects. We have everything from "which piece of Python code is better?" to "make a full mobile application using this chatbot, and improve the chatbot's responses afterwards to make it faster"

Pay Rates

• US - 50/hr

• Brazil - 28.70 USD /hr

• Egypt - 22.05 USD /hr

• Phillipines - 25.55 USD /hr

Interview Process

• Apply using this Ashby form

• If you look like a good fit, we'll send an async RLHF code review that will take 35 minutes and would need to be finished within 72 hours of us sending it.

• You'll receive credentials to the RLHF platform. We'll setup a group call to answer further questions about onboarding with the company.

• You'll perform a simulated production level task RLHF task on the platform. This will be your final interview and will ultimately determine your employment and leveling.

Tech Stack Priorities

• The current priority for this team is engineers with either a Data Science background that know Python well or software engineers that are well versed with Python.

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in a software engineering/software development role.

• Complete fluency in the English language.
