Turing
VerifiedSenior Software Engineer – C#(LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation)
This project builds LLM evaluation and training datasets that help models solve realistic software engineering problems. The work involves creating verifiable software engineering tasks from public repository histories using a synthetic, human-in-the-loop approach. Engineers analyze GitHub issues, set up Docker-based environments, and evaluate test coverage to judge model performance in bug-fixing scenarios. The role fits a tech lead-level engineer comfortable with C#, Git, and running complex codebases locally.
AfterQuery
VerifiedProject Manager Expert
AfterQuery builds AI evaluation and training data that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment in real professional work. This contract role places you inside that effort as a project management specialist. You write realistic delivery scenarios that stretch from kickoff through execution, handoff, and retrospective, then grade how well a model reasons about each step. The work also asks you to draft reference answers that expose the prioritization and tradeoff logic behind a plan, and to flag responses that sound polished but would fail during actual delivery. Schedule stays remote and async, with at least 10 hours each week and room to scale up or down.
Turing
VerifiedSenior Software Engineer – LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation
This contract role centers on building LLM evaluation datasets from public repository histories. You will triage GitHub issues, set up Docker environments, and run codebases on your own machine to score how well language models fix real bugs. The work targets popular repositories with 500+ stars and spans languages such as Python, JavaScript, and Go. The project uses a human-in-the-loop approach to expand task coverage across difficulty levels and programming languages.
