The job description

About the Role

What if your coding instincts could directly influence how AI writes software for millions of people? We're looking for Software Testing Analysts to put AI-generated code through its paces — running programs, hunting down bugs, and helping ensure that the software AI produces actually works the way it should.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone who can read and run basic code. No formal QA certification or software engineering degree required — just a logical mind, an eye for detail, and the ability to think like someone trying to break things.

What You'll Do

Run AI-generated code and evaluate whether it produces correct, expected outputs
Hunt for bugs, edge cases, and unexpected or broken behavior
Assess code readability, structure, and overall quality
Suggest concrete improvements to make AI-generated solutions cleaner and more reliable
Document test results clearly using structured formats and evaluation rubrics
Work across a variety of programming languages and problem types
Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Who You Are

Comfortable reading and running basic programs in at least one programming language
Logical and methodical — you naturally think about what could go wrong
Detail-oriented with a consistent, thorough approach to testing
Clear and concise written communicator
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
No formal QA, software engineering, or AI experience required

Nice to Have

Familiarity with multiple programming languages (Python, JavaScript, etc.)
Experience with code editors, IDEs, or online coding environments
Background in computer science, software development, or technical writing
Exposure to debugging tools or testing frameworks
General interest in how AI models generate and reason about code

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Contribute directly to improving how AI writes and reasons about software
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
