# Senior Software Engineer - JavaScript/TypeScript - Company: [G2i]() - Location: Remote - Remote: Yes - Team: G2i Eng Team - Employment type: Contract - Posted: August 26, 2026 ## Job description ## **Senior AI Interaction Evaluator (Codex / Claude Code)** **Contract | $100–$200/hour | 10–20 hrs/week | Start ASAP (through early May)** [Check out this Loom video for more details!](https://www.loom.com/share/b0d1b0bf24c44ae8b95dca84b9db60e5) We’re looking for **highly experienced software engineer (SR+)** to help evaluate the quality of interactions with modern coding agents such as OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. This is not a traditional engineering role. You won’t be writing production code. You’ll be evaluating something harder: **whether the model** ***thinks*** **like a great engineer.** ## **What This Role Actually Is** You will assess how AI coding agents behave in real-world scenarios — focusing on: * Whether the **response makes sense** * Whether the **preamble and reasoning are useful** * Whether the **output reflects strong engineering judgment** * Whether the **interaction feels right to an experienced developer** This role is about **engineering taste** — not syntax correctness. ## **What You’ll Be Doing** * Evaluate AI-generated coding interactions end-to-end * Judge whether outputs are: + Useful + Correct (at a high level) + Aligned with how a strong engineer would think * Assess the **quality of explanations and reasoning**, not just code * Distinguish between different levels of response quality (e.g. what makes something a *2 vs 4*) * Provide clear, opinionated feedback on: + What worked + What didn’t + What felt “off” or misleading * Help define what *great* looks like when interacting with tools like Cursor ## **What We Mean by “Taste”** We’re specifically looking for engineers who can answer questions like: * *Does this feel like something a strong engineer would actually say?* * *Is this explanation helpful, or just technically correct?* * *Is the model guiding the user well, or just dumping output?* * *Would this interaction build or erode trust?* You should be comfortable making **subjective but rigorous judgments**. ## **Who You Are** * Staff / Principal-level engineer (or equivalent experience) * Strong background in one of the below: + TypeScript / JavaScript + Python * Hands-on experience using: + OpenAI Codex + Claude Code + Cursor * Deep familiarity with modern AI-assisted dev workflows * Able to evaluate code **without needing to fully execute or deeply review every line** * Comfortable giving **direct, opinionated feedback** * High bar for what “good engineering” looks like ## **Nice to Have** * Experience with tools like Cursor or similar AI-first IDEs * Prior exposure to prompt design or evaluation workflows * Experience mentoring senior engineers or defining engineering standards ## **Engagement Details** * **Rate:** $100–$200/hour * **Hours:** ~10–20 hours/week * **Duration:** Through early May (with possible extension) * **Start:** ASAP * **Process:** + Take-home evaluation exercise + One behavioral interview ## Apply [Apply on G2i]() Canonical job page:
