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. You'll be evaluating something harder: whether the model thinks like a great engineer.

What This Role Actually Is

• 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

What You'll Be Doing

Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end-to-end

• Useful
• Correct (at a high level)
• 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
• What felt "off" or misleading
• Help define what great looks like when interacting with tools like Cursor

What We Mean by "Taste"

• 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?

Who You Are

• 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

Engagement Details

• Rate: $100-$200/hour
• Hours: ~10-20 hours/week
• Duration: Through early May (with possible extension)
• Start: ASAP

Process:

• Take-home evaluation exercise
• One behavioral interview
