About the role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a C Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across C programming AI training projects. You will review AI-generated C code and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure contributors follow expected quality standards.

Responsibilities

  • Quality monitoring: Spot-check C items, identify quality issues, provide feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues.

  • Code review: Evaluate AI-generated C code, debugging responses, pointer/memory examples, algorithmic solutions, tests, and technical explanations.

  • Trainer/QA communication: Update contributors on Discord about guideline changes, workflow updates, and C-specific review standards.

  • Question handling: Respond to questions around pointers, memory allocation, compilation, UB, portability, embedded constraints, testing, and rubric interpretation.

  • Activation management: DM inactive contributors, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues.

  • Documentation: Create and maintain C style guides, trackers, FAQs, examples, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials.

  • Onboarding: Run onboarding/training calls for C contributors.

  • Risk review: Flag unsafe, non-compilable, misleading, memory-unsafe, or non-production-ready C recommendations.

  • Process improvement: Identify recurring quality gaps and improve QA workflows.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Strong grasp of English to follow guidelines and provide clear technical feedback.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in C programming, systems programming, embedded development, firmware, operating systems, performance engineering, code review, QA, or technical mentoring.
  • Strong understanding of pointers, arrays, memory allocation, structs, function pointers, preprocessor macros, header files, compilation/linking, undefined behavior, file I/O, bitwise operations, and portability.
  • Ability to identify issues such as buffer overflows, memory leaks, use-after-free, undefined behavior, invalid pointer arithmetic, race conditions, non-compilable code, hallucinated APIs, or incomplete explanations.
  • Familiarity with GCC/Clang/MSVC, Make/CMake, GDB/LLDB, Valgrind, sanitizers, embedded toolchains, POSIX APIs, unit testing frameworks, GitHub, CI/CD, profiling, and static analysis tools is preferred.
  • Experience leading or supporting remote teams of trainers, reviewers, engineers, coding mentors, or QAs is strongly preferred.
  • Comfortable using Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, GitHub, and PM systems.
  • Highly organized and able to maintain style guides, trackers, FAQs, onboarding materials, honeypots, calibration tasks, and quality documentation.
  • Experience with AI training, LLM evaluation, code QA, or rubric-based code review is a strong plus.
