Software Engineer (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for Software Engineers in Minneapolis 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
