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
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 You'll Be Doing
-
Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end-to-end
-
Judge whether outputs are:
-
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"
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.
Who You Are
-
Staff / Principal-level engineer (or equivalent experience)
