The job description

About the Role

What if the code you write could directly shape how the next generation of AI understands and generates software? We're looking for Software Engineers in Cúcuta to build, evaluate, and improve AI-generated code — helping train AI systems to think like real developers.

You'll write solutions, review AI outputs, and provide the expert-level feedback that makes AI coding assistants smarter, safer, and more reliable. This is hands-on engineering work at the frontier of AI development — not theoretical, not bureaucratic, and not boring.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you can write clean code and explain your reasoning, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Write, debug, and optimize code across a range of languages, frameworks, and problem domains
Review and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, readability, and best practices
Identify bugs, logic errors, security issues, and performance bottlenecks in AI outputs
Provide structured, detailed feedback explaining why code works — or doesn't
Design challenging coding prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test AI capabilities
Compare and rank multiple AI-generated solutions based on engineering quality
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Proficient in one or more programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, TypeScript, or similar)
Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
Able to read, write, and reason about code with clarity and precision
Strong problem-solving instincts and a systematic debugging approach
Clear written communicator — you can explain technical decisions in plain language
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have

Experience across multiple languages or tech stacks (full-stack, backend, systems, data engineering)
Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, LLMs, or prompt engineering
Background in code review, technical writing, or mentoring junior developers
Experience with cloud platforms, DevOps, or distributed systems
Competitive programming, open-source contributions, or side projects that demonstrate your craft
Advanced degree in Computer Science or related discipline

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhere
Freelance autonomy with intellectually stimulating, high-impact work
Directly influence how AI writes, understands, and reasons about code
Sharpen your own engineering skills by evaluating diverse problems daily
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
