$6,000/week · 40 hours a week · Paid weekly · Fully remote · 4+ years experience **About the role** Frontier AI labs are building coding agents that do real engineering work. Before these coding agents ship, Senior Engineers have to work a real problem from a codebase they know, step by step, to identify where a frontier model goes wrong then correct it. Not just anyone can do this. It takes a select group of engineers with experience and taste. Engineers who qualify join a fixed-pay contract: earn $6,000/wk for 40hrs of work ($150/hr). Work on your own schedule, paid weekly. **What you'll do** - **Judge the AI's work.** Give an agent a real ticket, then review its output like a teammate's pull request: run it, evaluate it. - **Pair with the AI on your own task.** Work a real problem from a codebase you know, step by step, and flag where the model goes wrong. **What's in it for you** - **Senior-engineer pay.** A weekly contract paying $6,000 for a 40-hour week. Work from anywhere, any time. - **Work that lasts.** This is not a two-week gig. The work is here month after month, and the 40 hours are yours every week you're on the team. - **An elite, hand-picked team.** You’ll have priority access to the projects frontier labs trust us with, the ones every engineer wants a seat on. - **Problems that are actually hard.** Your work on difficult tasks goes straight back to the labs training the next best-in-class models. - **A seat at the table.** You'll work directly with project leads from day one. Your read on where models fail and where the bar should sit shapes how we run these programs. - **Ongoing, on your schedule.** The contract renews every week while you meet quality standards. You set your hours. Exceptional engineers may be approved for additional hours, paid at $150/hr on top of your base earnings. - **Support that meets your needs.** A dedicated team, fast answers, and real feedback on your work. **How it works** 1. Pass a proctored coding assessment, without the use of AI tools. You’ll earn $100 when you pass. About 2 hours. 2. Complete one paid trial task. You’ll earn $40 when you submit your first stage and $1,100 once it's approved through every review cycle. About 10 hours total. 3. Join the team and continue working. We’ll provide 40 hours of work every week, totalling $6,000. **You're a fit if you have** - 4+ years of professional software engineering experience - A Bachelor's or Master’s degree in computer science or a related field - US work authorization - Strong written English and 40 hours a week to give during your contract - No AI background needed. Your software engineering skills are the whole job.
