Remote work in which professional software engineers write engineering tasks and grade AI coding agents the way they would review a colleague's pull request. Suits working developers comfortable with git, testing and debugging.
Fully remote, project-based work checking how well AI coding agents handle real software engineering. You write tasks based on your own experience and grade where the agent gets it wrong. $40 to $125 USD an hour, at least 10 hours a week, as an independent contractor. For working software engineers in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, or Australia.
AI coding agents produce working code quickly, and it is not always code a good engineer would ship. This role puts your experience to work finding out where. You turn engineering problems you know into realistic tasks, run them through AI agents, and judge the answers the way you would review a colleague's pull request. You set your own schedule, and the work rewards careful writing as much as expertise.
Build realistic tasks out of problems from your own software engineering work, along with the material needed to solve them
Give those tasks to frontier AI models and judge the results against the standard of your profession
Weigh paired model answers against each other and explain which one holds up
Write grading rubrics for your tasks and set out your reasoning in writing
Review and improve tasks written by other engineers
2+ years writing production software professionally
Comfortable with git, testing, and debugging in your main language
Full professional or native-level written English

$40 to $125 USD an hour. The rate varies with your expertise, education, and experience. Minimum 10 hours a week with no weekly maximum; full-time hours are available.
Independent contractor, fully remote. Payment runs through PayPal, so you need a PayPal account. As an independent contractor, you handle your own taxes.
Getting on: a skills assessment that takes most people four to six hours. You are paid $240 for it if you pass, and you get one attempt, so take your time and do your best work. Work produced with AI tools is rejected.
After you pass: onboarding and a short training project, then you propose a task from your own practice, build it, and run it against frontier models. Each stage is reviewed before you move on, and you are paid for the work you complete.
