- 1Review AI-generated C++ code, systems designs, and technical explanations for correctness and safety.
- 2Produce high-quality reference implementations and step-by-step reasoning to illustrate correct solutions to complex engineering problems.
- 3Rate and compare AI responses for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to prompts.
- 4Develop AI training content by crafting prompts and model answers across topics to guide learning.
- 5Identify issues in memory management, concurrency, and performance and document fixes.
- 6Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to align evaluation criteria and coding standards.
- 7Document findings and best practices to support model improvements and reproducibility.
Requirements10
- 1Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- 24+ years of professional C++ development experience delivering production software for systems, performance-critical, or large-scale applications.
- 3Expert-level proficiency with modern C++ (C++11 and later), including templates, move semantics, smart pointers, and the STL.
- 4Strong background in systems programming concepts such as concurrency, operating systems, low-level optimization, and memory management.
- 5Hands-on experience with C++ build systems, compilers, linkers, debuggers, and profiling or analysis tools.
- 6Minimum C1 English proficiency (written and spoken), with ability to write clear technical explanations.
- 7Proven experience conducting detailed C++ code reviews and enforcing coding standards for safety, performance, and maintainability.
- 8Comfort with version control, CI/CD workflows, and automated testing frameworks in modern C++ projects.
- 9Nice to have: experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content.
- 10Highly detail-oriented and methodical, capable of identifying subtle issues in complex C++ code.
Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates are mid to senior C++ engineers with 4+ years building performance-critical software and a solid systems programming background. They should be comfortable reviewing AI-generated C++ work and communicating findings clearly in technical terms. This role is less suitable for those lacking English proficiency or without hands-on experience with CI/CD, modern C++, and debugging tools. It suits professionals who relish methodical evaluation, rigorous standards, and collaboration across data science and software engineering teams.

Micro1
VerifiedSenior Software Engineer
Building reinforcement learning environments sits at the center of this remote contractor role. You'll create reproducible workflows that mirror real DevOps and CI/CD debugging scenarios, using command-line tools like git, docker, gdb, and ffmpeg. Each environment you produce comes with a golden reference solution that marks what a correct result looks like. Your command of C++ or Python (or Java, GoLang, TypeScript, Rust) matters more than hands-on AI experience, though the output here shapes how AI models learn and reason. Expect to work about 15 hours a week with output-based pay.

VerifiedPython Engineer for AI Training Content Remote Contract
Remote, hourly contract role centered on Python engineering for AI training content. Review AI-generated Python solutions and technical explanations, evaluating correctness, performance, and architectural soundness. Produce high-quality reference content and step-by-step explanations that demonstrate strong software engineering practices. Rate multiple AI responses for reasoning quality and implementation soundness to guide model improvements.
Micro1
VerifiedAI Engineer
micro1 hires software engineers to build evaluation environments that push AI systems into realistic engineering workflows. As a remote contractor, you set your own schedule at roughly 15 hours per week and focus on one thing: creating reinforcement learning environments that force an AI model to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools while solving bugs, implementing features, or refactoring code. Each environment needs deterministic verification and a golden reference solution so results are measurable and repeatable. Prior AI experience isn't required; your coding background and judgment are what the project needs.
