AI Interaction Evaluator (Codex / Claude Code, up to $200/hr)

Accountabilities: Evaluate AI interactions: Review AI-generated coding interactions end to end and determine whether responses are useful, accurate at a high level, and consistent with strong engineering practices.

Assess engineering judgment: Evaluate whether coding agents demonstrate sound technical reasoning, appropriate decision-making, and practical engineering judgment rather than simply producing working-looking code.

Review explanations and reasoning: Assess the quality of preambles, explanations, reasoning, and guidance, identifying whether they genuinely help developers understand and solve problems.

Measure response quality: Distinguish between different levels of AI response quality and identify the characteristics that separate adequate interactions from exceptional ones.

Provide actionable feedback: Deliver clear, direct, and opinionated assessments covering what worked, what failed, and what felt misleading, ineffective, or inconsistent with experienced engineering practice.

Evaluate developer experience: Consider whether an interaction would build trust with an experienced developer, provide useful direction, or instead create confusion and unnecessary work.

Shape evaluation standards: Help define what “great” looks like when developers work with AI coding agents and AI-first development environments.

Apply independent expertise: Make subjective but rigorous judgments without needing to execute or deeply inspect every line of generated code.

Requirements:

Senior engineering background: Staff-, Principal-, or similarly experienced software engineer, or equivalent depth of practical engineering experience.

Programming expertise: Strong professional background in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript , with the ability to quickly understand different software-development approaches.

AI coding experience: Hands-on experience with modern AI coding tools such as OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Cursor , or comparable AI-assisted development platforms.

AI-assisted development knowledge: Deep familiarity with contemporary AI-enabled software-engineering workflows and how developers collaborate with coding agents.

Strong engineering taste: Ability to recognize whether a response reflects the thinking, communication style, trade-offs, and technical standards expected from an excellent engineer.

Critical evaluation ability: Comfortable assessing code and technical reasoning at a high level without needing to execute or manually review every implementation detail.

Communication skills: Able to articulate clear, concise, and well-supported opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of AI-generated interactions.

High quality standards: A consistently high bar for software engineering, developer experience, clarity, and technical decision-making.

Preferred experience: Exposure to AI-first IDEs, prompt design, model evaluation, or structured AI evaluation workflows is advantageous.

Additional advantage: Experience mentoring senior engineers or establishing engineering standards and best practices is a plus.

Benefits:

Compensation: $100–$200 per hour.

Flexible schedule: Approximately 10–20 hours per week, allowing you to balance the engagement with other commitments.

Remote work: Fully remote contract opportunity across eligible locations.

Short-term engagement: Initial engagement through early May, with the possibility of extension.

Fast start: Opportunity to begin as soon as possible.

High-impact work: Help shape how AI coding agents are evaluated and improve the quality of AI-assisted software development.

Senior-level contribution: Apply years of engineering experience to challenging questions around AI reasoning, developer experience, and engineering quality.

Streamlined selection process: Take-home evaluation exercise followed by one behavioral interview.
