Key highlights
- $100–$200/hour
- Staff / Principal-level engineer
- 10–20 hrs/week
- Experience with OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor
Role overview
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, but rather evaluating whether the model thinks like a great engineer, focusing on engineering taste rather than syntax correctness.
Responsibilities
- Assess how AI coding agents behave in real-world scenarios
- Determine whether the response makes sense
- Determine whether the preamble and reasoning are useful
- Determine whether the output reflects strong engineering judgment
- Determine whether the interaction feels right to an experienced developer
- 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 code
- Distinguish between different levels of response quality (e.g. what makes something a 2 vs 4)
- Provide clear, opinionated feedback on what worked, what didn’t, and what felt “off” or misleading
- Help define what great looks like when interacting with tools like Cursor
- Answer questions such as: 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?
- Make subjective but rigorous judgments
Requirements
- Staff / Principal-level engineer (or equivalent experience)
- Strong background in one of the below: TypeScript / JavaScript, Python
- Hands-on experience using: OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Cursor
- Deep familiarity with modern AI-assisted dev workflows
- Able to evaluate code without needing to fully execute or deeply review every line
- Comfortable giving direct, opinionated feedback
- High bar for what “good engineering” looks like
Nice to have
- Experience with tools like Cursor or similar AI-first IDEs
- Prior exposure to prompt design or evaluation workflows
- Experience mentoring senior engineers or defining engineering standards
Additional details
- Contract
- Rate: $100–$200/hour
- Hours: ~10–20 hours/week
- Duration: Through early May (with possible extension)
- Start: ASAP
- Process: Take-home evaluation exercise and one behavioral interview
