Software Engineer, AI (Python, Science background)
Job Description
Job Description
Now prioritizing Python programmers with a science background!
List of accepted countries and locations
If you have experience in fields like Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, GIS, or Medicine—whether through a degree, certificate, or industry work—we encourage you to apply.
Help train large-language models (LLMs) to write production-grade code across a wide range of programming languages.
You'll play a key role in the human feedback loop:
-
Compare & rank multiple code snippets, explaining which is best and why.
-
Repair & refactor AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, and style.
-
Inject feedback (ratings, edits, test results) into the RLHF pipeline to keep it running smoothly.
End result: The model learns to propose, critique, and improve code the way you do.
What is RLHF?
Generate code ➜ expert engineers rank, edit, and justify ➜ convert that feedback into reward signals ➜ reinforcement learning tunes the model toward code you’d actually ship.
What You’ll Need
-
3+ years of professional software engineering experience in Python
(Constraint programming experience is a bonus, but not required) -
Science background — education or work experience in one of the following areas is a strong plus:
Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, GIS, or Medicine -
Strong code-review instincts—you can spot logic errors, performance traps, and security issues quickly.
-
Extreme attention to detail and excellent written communication skills.
Much of this role involves explaining why one approach is better than another. -
You enjoy reading documentation and language specs, and thrive in an asynchronous, low-oversight environment.
What You Don’t Need
-
No prior RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) or AI training experience.
-
No deep machine learning knowledge. If you can review and critique code clearly, we’ll teach you the rest.
Tech Stack
We are looking for engineers with a strong command of Python.
