Software Engineer, AI (JavaScript)
Role Overview
This mid-level Software Engineer role involves training AI models to produce high-quality code by comparing, ranking, and refining code snippets, focusing on correctness, efficiency, and style. The engineer will work independently in an asynchronous, low-oversight environment, contributing directly to the RLHF pipeline to improve AI-generated code. The impact includes shaping AI models to generate production-grade code that aligns with expert engineering standards.
Perks & Benefits
The role offers fully remote work from anywhere with flexible hours, ranging from 15 to 40 hours per week, allowing for a good work-life balance. Compensation is competitive, from $30 to $70 per hour based on location and experience, and the culture emphasizes asynchronous collaboration with minimal oversight. Career growth is supported through hands-on training in AI and RLHF, even without prior experience, fostering skill development in a straightforward, impact-driven environment.

List of accepted countries and locations
Important for US applicants: This is a 1099 independent contractor role and is not compatible with F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, or other visa statuses that require W-2 employment, guaranteed hours, or employer sponsorship. We are unable to provide offer letters or employment verification for this role.
Help train large-language models (LLMs) to write production-grade code across a wide range of programming languages:
Compare & rank multiple code snippets, explaining which is best and why.
Repair & 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 JavaScript
(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.You enjoy reading documentation and language specs and thrive in an asynchronous, low-oversight environment.
What You Don’t Need
No prior RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) or AI training experience.
No deep machine learning knowledge. If you can review and critique code clearly, we’ll teach you the rest.
Tech Stack
We are looking for engineers with a strong command of JavaScript.
