Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for software engineers with strong coding, debugging, technical writing, and code review skills. This role supports high-impact research collaborations with leading AI laboratories focused on improving advanced AI systems through evaluation datasets that assess reasoning quality, explanation quality, and technical judgment in coding-related interactions. Selected professionals will help craft realistic developer prompts, create authentic code-related evaluation scenarios, write high-quality technical responses, and contribute to improving how next-generation AI systems reason through software engineering questions.

Key Responsibilities

• Prompt & Scenario Development
  • Craft realistic developer prompts across multiple categories such as code review, debugging, error diagnosis, configuration, and related engineering tasks.
  • Source and adapt content from real pull requests to create authentic coding scenarios.
  • Structure prompts with all necessary context inline, including code snippets, logs, error messages, or requirements.
• Technical Response Writing
  • Write clear, technically accurate model responses that demonstrate strong reasoning and explanation quality.
  • Contribute to evaluation materials designed to assess natural-language reasoning rather than only executable correctness.
  • Help create high-quality question-and-answer datasets for coding-related interactions.
• Engineering Quality & Review
  • Apply software engineering judgment across debugging, testing, and code validation contexts.
  • Support quality and realism in technical scenarios used for AI evaluation.
  • Help ensure prompts and responses reflect real-world developer workflows and standards.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in software engineering, technical research, or educational content development.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong proficiency in languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, or C++.
• Experience with debugging, testing, and validating code.
• Strong technical writing ability and attention to detail.
• Ability to communicate software reasoning clearly and accurately.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience reviewing code or creating technically rigorous engineering content.
• Familiarity with real-world developer workflows such as pull requests, debugging, and issue analysis.
• Comfort working in structured, research-oriented technical environments.
• Ability to produce high-quality outputs in flexible, remote, project-based settings.

Benefits

• Contribute to cutting-edge AI research focused on software reasoning and technical judgment.
• Apply real-world engineering expertise to high-impact evaluation dataset development.
• Help improve how advanced AI systems respond to realistic coding and debugging questions.
• Flexible remote work with competitive compensation.

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
• Compensation range of $70–$120 per hour.
• Typical commitment of 15–25 hours per week, with flexibility up to 40 hours per week.
• Project duration of approximately 1–2 months.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on project needs and performance.
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
• Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
• Start date: Immediate.
• Location requirements: United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, or Slovakia.
