Software Engineer, AI (Go)
Role Overview
This mid-level contractor role involves training large language models to write production-grade Go code by comparing, ranking, and refactoring AI-generated code. You'll inject feedback into the RLHF pipeline, ensuring the model improves its code generation and reasoning skills. The work is asynchronous and remote, requiring strong code-review instincts and attention to detail.
Perks & Benefits
Fully remote work from any accepted location with flexible hours (minimum 15 hrs/week). Weekly payments via PayPal or Stripe, and the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI training. No prior RLHF experience required, and you can work alongside other commitments.
Full Job Description
Before applying
This role is open to contractors in accepted locations only. Please confirm your country is on the list before applying — we're unable to process applications from unlisted locations. List of accepted countries and locations.
For US applicants
This is a 1099 independent contractor role. It is not compatible with F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, or any visa status that requires W-2 employment, guaranteed hours, or employer sponsorship.
We are unable to provide offer letters or employment verification for this role.
What You'll Be Doing
Help train large language models (LLMs) to write production-grade code across a wide range of programming languages:
Compare and rank multiple code snippets, explaining which is best and why
Repair and refactor AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, and style
Inject feedback (ratings, edits, test results) into the RLHF pipeline and keep it running smoothly
End result: the model learns to propose, critique, and improve code the way you do.
RLHF in one line: Generate code → expert engineers rank, edit, and justify → convert that feedback into reward signals → reinforcement learning tunes the model toward code you'd actually ship.
What You'll Need
3+ years of professional software engineering experience in Go (constraint programming experience is a bonus, but not required)
Strong code-review instincts — you can spot logic errors, performance traps, and security issues quickly
Extreme attention to detail and excellent written communication skills. Much of this role involves explaining why one approach is better than another. This cannot be overstated.
Comfortable reading documentation and language specs, and able to work well in an asynchronous, low-oversight environment
Identity verification: Applicants will be required to verify their identity and confirm they have valid documentation to work as an independent contractor in their country of residence.
What You Don't Need
No prior RLHF or AI training experience
