The job description

About the Role

What if your coding instincts could directly improve the AI tools developers rely on every day? We're looking for Code Review Specialists to evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, and readability — helping make AI a more reliable coding partner for everyone.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone who can read and reason about code. Whether you're a self-taught developer, a hobbyist coder, or a seasoned engineer, your eye for quality is what matters here.

What You'll Do

Review AI-generated code in Python, JavaScript, or other languages for correctness and quality
Identify bugs, logical errors, edge cases, and inefficiencies
Rate code quality using structured evaluation rubrics
Suggest clear, actionable improvements and explain your reasoning
Work across a variety of programming challenges spanning multiple difficulty levels
Complete assignments independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

Able to read and understand code in at least one programming language
Logical thinker with a natural eye for spotting what's wrong — or what could be better
Clear written communicator who can explain technical concepts in plain terms
Detail-oriented and consistent in your evaluations
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
No computer science degree or professional software experience required

Nice to Have

Familiarity with multiple programming languages
Experience with debugging, testing, or code review in personal or professional projects
Background in software development, computer science, or related fields
Prior experience with AI tools or developer workflows

Why Join Us

Work on real 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 to AI development that has a tangible impact on how developers use AI tools every day
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
