About AI Training and Model Evaluation

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Expert contributors review model outputs, prepare examples, write and assess content, and provide structured feedback that helps AI systems become more accurate, useful, and reliable.

In this role, your software engineering judgment will help evaluate how well AI systems reason about technical work. Your feedback and technical artifacts will support the development of advanced models and shape how they handle engineering tasks.

• Apply professional expertise to cutting-edge AI development
• Evaluate model reasoning, accuracy, and completeness
• Contribute remotely with flexible, part-time work

The Role

OpenTrain is seeking a Software Engineering AI Evaluation Expert to review and improve AI-generated technical content. The role combines software engineering expertise with structured model evaluation, research, fact-checking, technical writing, and data annotation.

You will work asynchronously with project leads and other experts while following established deliverable guidelines. The role is listed at an entry level, but it requires at least three years of professional software engineering experience.

• Employment type: Contractor and part time
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Subject area: Software engineering AI evaluation
• Data type: Technical documents
• Core activities: Evaluation, rating, and text generation

What You'll Do

You will assess technical content and create high-quality materials that can be used in AI training. The work calls for careful judgment, strong written communication, and the ability to explain why a technical response succeeds or needs improvement.

• Analyze AI-generated technical content for clarity, correctness, completeness, and alignment with software engineering best practices
• Create, refine, and evaluate prompts and instructions for technical deliverables
• Assess AI model outputs against rubrics and provide detailed feedback on quality and reasoning
• Draft and edit technical documentation, architecture plans, RFCs, design specifications, engineering proposals, postmortems, technical blogs, and related materials
• Research and fact-check technical assertions to support accurate, data-driven content
• Interpret and annotate data using software engineering expertise for nuanced evaluation and labeling tasks
• Collaborate asynchronously with project leads and other experts while meeting established deliverable guidelines

Requirements

This opportunity is designed for experienced software engineering professionals who can combine technical knowledge with rigorous evaluation and communication skills.

• At least three years of professional software engineering experience, including experience as a Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Staff Engineer, Technical Lead, Engineering Manager, or Solutions Architect
• Experience authoring or reviewing technical documentation, architecture documents, design specifications, RFCs, engineering proposals, postmortems, technical blogs, or code reviews
• Strong critical thinking, analytical reasoning, logical problem-solving, written communication, and technical editing skills
• Careful attention to detail and a demonstrated commitment to quality assurance in technical outputs
• Ability to explain technical judgments and identify errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement
• Ability to create and refine prompts, assess AI-generated outputs against defined criteria, and fact-check technical claims
• Clear professional and technical writing and editing skills

Helpful Background

Experience with AI coding tools, code assistants, or automated documentation generators is helpful but not required. Advanced academic credentials or equivalent training are also valued.
