We’re looking for highly experienced software engineer (SR+) to help evaluate the quality of interactions with modern coding agents such as OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. This is not a traditional engineering role. You won’t be writing production code. You’ll be evaluating something harder: whether the model thinks like a great engineer. What This Role Actually Is You will assess how AI coding agents behave in real-world scenarios — focusing on: Whether the response makes sense Whether the preamble and reasoning are useful Whether the output reflects strong engineering judgment Whether the interaction feels right to an experienced developer This role is about engineering taste — not syntax correctness. What You’ll Be Doing Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end-to-end Judge whether outputs are: Useful Correct (at a high level) Aligned with how a strong engineer would think Assess the quality of explanations and reasoning , not just code Distinguish between different levels of response quality (e.g. what makes something a 2 vs 4 ) Provide clear, opinionated feedback on: What worked What didn’t What felt “off” or misleading Help define what great looks like when interacting with tools like Cursor What We Mean by “Taste” We’re specifically looking for engineers who can answer questions like: Does this feel like something a strong engineer would actually say? Is this explanation helpful, or
