About the Role
This contract opportunity is for a backend engineer who will work remotely on tasks that involve using advanced AI coding agents to solve and assess complex engineering problems. The company connects top-tier technical and creative professionals with AI research teams.
The organization is headquartered in San Francisco and is backed by Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.
Key Work
- Use cutting-edge AI coding tools to complete and judge challenging engineering assignments.
- Inspect code produced by models for correctness, maintainability, quality, and performance.
- Spot defects, unusual edge cases, and possible failure scenarios in generated outputs.
- Compare responses from multiple leading models and evaluate where each performs well or poorly.
- Use sound backend engineering judgment when working through realistic product and systems scenarios.
- Work autonomously and asynchronously while keeping pace with deadlines and contributing to better model performance.
What You Need
- At least 2 years of hands-on professional experience in backend engineering.
- Background in building APIs, distributed systems, microservices, backend platforms, or databases.
- Regular experience using AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or similar tools.
- Strong ability to review model-written code and identify bugs, edge cases, and design tradeoffs.
Preferred Background
- Experience working on large production-scale systems is a plus.
