Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
- Staff / Principal-level engineer (or equivalent experience)
- Strong background in one of the following: 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
Work Arrangement
Remote (Worldwide)
What This Role Actually Is
- You will assess how AI coding agents behave in real-world scenarios — focusing on: Whether the response makes sense, Whether the preamble and reasoning are useful, Whether the output reflects strong engineering judgment, Whether the interaction feels right to an experienced developer
- This role is about engineering taste — not syntax correctness.
What We Mean by “Taste”
- We’re specifically looking for engineers who can answer questions like: 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.
