Senior Backend Engineer (Python/FastAPI) – AI Evaluation (US-based)

What You'll Do6

• Curate code examples and build solutions across Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with additional work in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
• Evaluate and refine AI-generated code in both backend and frontend contexts to ensure efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks.
• Build agents that verify code quality and identify error patterns across full-stack applications.
• Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them.
• Design verification mechanisms that automatically verify solutions to software engineering tasks.

Requirements5

• 3+ years of software engineering experience.
• Strong expertise in building full-stack applications using Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with the ability to work across backend and frontend codebases.
• Experience deploying scalable, production-grade software using modern languages and tools.
• Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality/review assessment.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales.

Preferred Qualifications2

• Experience at high-scale engineering organizations like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta.
• Graduation from leading programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, or comparable institutions.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with 3+ years of software engineering experience and strong full-stack skills in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js). The role suits engineers who have built production systems at scale and can evaluate code quality with precision. Exceptional experience and skill take precedence over pedigree.
