Example tasks * Reproduce a generated C++ solution to a coding task, run the test suite, and grade it. * Write the smallest failing test that demonstrates a model's edge-case bug. * Compare two paired solutions and rank them with a written rationale tied to the rubric. * Triage a security issue surfaced by a model and document the patch the model should have produced. Nice to have * Open-source contributions or a public portfolio that demonstrates production-quality code. * Experience with C++'s standard tooling, linters, and idiomatic style guides. * Familiarity with security-review checklists (OWASP, CWE) and AppSec patterns., * Code review * Debugging * Unit testing * Software engineering judgment * Python engineering Work model Remote - US-eligible. Remote ยท Independent specialist contractor. Employment type: CONTRACTOR. Applicants must be authorized to work from US. ## Description Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) - IN is a remote engineering review track for evaluating C++ code, debugging traces, and developer-facing AI outputs against real-world correctness standards. Reviewers reproduce failures, write the unit test the model should have written, and explain the fix so the modeling team can target the gap. Why this role matters C++ model quality lives or dies on whether the generated code actually compiles, passes tests, and handles edge cases. AuraOne pairs experienced engineers with the modeling team to grade outputs the way a code reviewer would., * Run and reproduce C++ code outputs in a sandboxed environment for Performance Engineer (C++, Python, Rust) - IN assignments. * Grade python engineering solutions for correctness, complexity, idiomatic style, and edge-case handling. * Write minimal failing tests that demonstrate the bug a model output missed. * Compare paired solutions and rank them with a written rationale tied to the rubric. * Tag failure modes (compile error, runtime crash, off-by-one, security issue) with severity scores. * Document recurring code-generation failures so the modeling team can target them. * Calibrate against gold-standard reviews to keep inter-rater agreement above target. ## Related Videos - [How Unit Testing Saved My Career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1642-how-unit-testing-saved-my-career) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [From boy scouting to redrawing the landscape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1140-from-boy-scouting-to-redrawing-the-landscape) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
