Remote | Senior Software Engineering Evaluator — $45–$70/hour
Job Description:
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for senior software engineering professionals experienced in production codebases, open-source repositories, code review, software architecture, and structured evaluation of AI-generated solutions.
This role supports a remote consulting project focused on evaluating how advanced AI systems understand, reason about, and generate production-quality software. Selected professionals will apply their engineering judgment to review AI-generated code, assess technical quality and maintainability, analyze software artifacts, and provide clear, evidence-based evaluations across modern development environments.
Key Responsibilities
AI-Generated Code Evaluation
- Evaluate AI-generated software solutions for correctness, quality, maintainability, and engineering best practices
- Review implementation choices, software design decisions, and technical reasoning
- Identify functional issues, architectural weaknesses, and areas for improvement
- Provide structured evaluations supported by clear technical explanations
Repository & Software Architecture Review
- Become familiar with assigned open-source codebases and their engineering practices
- Navigate unfamiliar repositories and understand existing software architectures efficiently
- Review code changes, technical discussions, issues, pull requests, and related software artifacts
- Assess readability, maintainability, testing quality, and consistency with repository standards
Technical Collaboration & Quality Calibration
- Collaborate with fellow technical reviewers to support consistent and high-quality evaluations
- Apply established project criteria when assessing software solutions and engineering decisions
- Compare evaluation outcomes against benchmarks, reviewer guidance, and project-specific standards
- Communicate technical findings clearly in written English
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
- At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent open-source development experience
- Experience working with large production codebases
- Strong engineering judgment and practical knowledge of software engineering best practices
- Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar repositories, architectures, and technical discussions
- Experience reviewing code for correctness, readability, maintainability, testing, and software design
- Strong understanding of Git and GitHub workflows, including branching, issues, pull requests, and code reviews
- Availability to contribute at least 10 hours during the project period
- Current location in the United States or Canada to support real-time project collaboration
Educational Background
- A degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, information technology, or a related technical field is helpful
- Professional experience in backend, frontend, infrastructure, distributed systems, or open-source software development is highly relevant
- Equivalent hands-on experience contributing to production systems or established open-source projects is also highly valuable
- Advanced technical training or graduate-level study may be beneficial depending on the project focus
Nice to Have
- JavaScript or TypeScript experience with Node.js, React, TypeScript, or modern web application development
- Go experience involving backend services, distributed systems, REST or gRPC APIs, and cloud-native development
- Python experience across backend development, open-source libraries, DevOps, infrastructure automation, or testing frameworks
- Familiarity with Kubernetes or related cloud infrastructure environments
- Experience navigating and contributing to open-source repositories through GitHub
- Familiarity with SWE-bench, SWE-bench Pro, or comparable software engineering evaluation benchmarks
- Previous experience reviewing AI-generated code or technical model outputs
Why This Opportunity
- Apply senior software engineering expertise to structured remote evaluation work
- Contribute to the improvement of advanced coding and software reasoning systems
- Work with real-world repositories, technical artifacts, and production-oriented engineering standards
- Use your experience in code review, architecture, and software quality to support high-impact evaluation workflows
- Participate in a focused short-term project with competitive hourly compensation
Contract Details
- Independent contractor role
- Fully remote with flexible scheduling
- Candidates must be based in the United States or Canada
- Approximate project duration of one week
- Current project window scheduled for July 8–14
- Expected commitment of at least 10 hours during the project period
- Competitive rates between $45–$70 per hour depending on expertise and project scope
- Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
- Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
- The work centers on software evaluation and technical review rather than hands-on product development
- Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
