Job description

  • AI-Generated Code Evaluation: Review AI-generated code for functional correctness, readability, maintainability, efficiency, and adherence to software engineering best practices.

  • Coding Problem Development: Design challenging programming problems that assess algorithmic thinking, debugging skills, implementation quality, and practical engineering judgment.

  • Reference Solution Creation: Develop accurate, well-structured reference solutions that demonstrate effective approaches to solving software engineering problems.

  • Test Case Development: Create comprehensive test cases to validate functionality, identify edge cases, and detect incomplete or incorrect implementations.

  • Technical Reasoning Assessment: Evaluate AI-generated explanations and decisions involving software architecture, system design, debugging, and implementation strategies.

  • Code Quality Analysis: Identify bugs, inefficient algorithms, poor design choices, security concerns, and violations of established coding standards.

  • Technical Feedback: Provide detailed, actionable feedback explaining errors, weaknesses, and opportunities to improve code quality and model performance.

  • Documentation: Clearly document problem requirements, expected behavior, solution approaches, testing procedures, and technical evaluation findings.

  • Quality Assurance: Ensure that coding tasks, reference solutions, and evaluation criteria are accurate, consistent, and reproducible.
