Who Should Apply

Ideal candidates bring 7+ years of Python production experience and can translate complex AI prompts into reliable code and clear explanations. You thrive in a fully remote, hourly contractor setting and can deliver well‑documented Python references alongside thoughtful feedback. This role suits engineers who enjoy reviewing AI outputs, spotting edge cases, and producing training materials that others can follow. It is less suitable for applicants with limited production Python experience, or those who lack strong English or Chinese communication skills. If you have no background in AI data training or code review mentoring, your fit will be lower for this position.
