Open-Source Engineer, Part-Time AI Code Evaluation - Remote (India)

• $100–$150 per hour equivalent, paid per accepted task

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• About 15 hours a week, you choose when

Work on the cutting edge of AI coding systems, on your own schedule, and get paid for the software expertise you already have.

The AI coding systems changing how software gets built are trained and tested by real software engineers. The teams building them need engineers who can create realistic, difficult coding tasks, judge how well the AI handles them, write the fix and tests a strong engineer would provide, and explain exactly where the generated code falls short. Your judgment helps shape the next generation of AI coding systems. This is that work, done remotely around your current job.

What you’ll do

• Create challenging coding tasks from unfamiliar repositories, covering bugs in both front-end and back-end code

• Reproduce software issues and follow data and execution through services, APIs, libraries and databases to find the root cause

• Implement fixes that fit the existing architecture and write tests that validate the result

• Assess patches produced by AI for security and maintainability as well as correctness and completeness, then explain where they fall short

Why this is worth your time

• Get paid the equivalent of $100–$150 an hour to build real AI skills, on top of your current job

• Work directly with frontier AI coding tools and see how they are built, tested and improved, experience most software engineers will not have for years

• Build a career edge for what comes next: AI is reshaping software engineering, and the engineers who understand it from the inside will lead that change

• Fully remote, fully flexible, no minimum shift, no commute

Who this is for

• A public GitHub profile, or one that can otherwise be verified, showing meaningful contributions to or ownership of open-source repositories, with substantive authored code; documentation updates, formatting work, dependency changes or minor corrections alone do not meet this requirement

• Strong experience in one substantial technical area, such as front-end, back-end, full-stack, systems, developer tooling or infrastructure. Experience with several programming languages is required, such as C#, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Rust or TypeScript

• Strong English communication skills

• No AI experience needed. You bring the expertise; we bring the training on the tools.

Pay and details

• $100–$150 per hour equivalent; pay is per accepted task, as an independent contractor

• About 15 hours a week, you choose when; fully remote, India
