What the work is

Role Overview

As a Software Engineering evaluator, you will create cutting-edge datasets for training, benchmarking, and advancing large language models, collaborating closely with researchers. This includes curating code examples, providing precise solutions, and making corrections in Python, JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go; evaluating and refining AI-generated code for efficiency, scalability, and reliability; and working with cross-functional teams to enhance enterprise-level AI-driven coding solutions.

What does day-to-day life look like?

• Working on AI model training initiatives by curating code examples, building solutions, and correcting code in Python, JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
• Evaluate and refine AI-generated code to ensure that it is efficient, scalable, and reliable.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks.
• Build agents that can verify the quality of the code and identify error patterns.

• Hypothetize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operation maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them
• Design verification mechanisms that can automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task.
