Silver Senior/Staff Software Engineer at G2i to design and build AI training tasks for frontier AI labs. The role involves creating realistic software engineering tasks in TypeScript, Python, and Go for model training.
Responsibilities
G2i is hiring senior and staff-level software engineers to build the coding tasks a frontier AI lab uses to train its models. Each completed task pays $1,000 USD.
Most AI training work is annotation: engineers pick up a task someone else wrote and evaluate it. This role is one step earlier. You design and build the tasks themselves, which takes a different skill set from typical product engineering.
Design and build realistic, challenging software engineering tasks that frontier models will be trained and evaluated on
Write tasks across codebases of very different sizes, from a few files to large multi-service projects
Work mainly in TypeScript, Python and Go
Revise your tasks based on feedback from G2i reviewers and team leads until they meet the lab's quality bar
Work mostly on your own, with support from reviewers and a shared engineer channel
Who we're looking for
We're hiring two kinds of engineers. Both are welcome to apply.
Engineers who have built AI training tasks before (top priority). You've designed and built tasks or environments for training models at a frontier lab or a data lab. Contractor experience counts. What matters is that you built tasks, not only annotated, reviewed or evaluated tasks someone else wrote.
Very strong senior, staff or principal engineers who haven't done this yet. You have deep, hands-on skill in TypeScript, Python and/or Go, and you learn new kinds of work fast. You may need a few extra days in training to learn the format, and that's expected.
For both profiles:
Qualification
Deep hands-on skill in TypeScript
Required
Senior to principal-level engineering experience
Strong code reading and writing skills without relying on AI tools
Clear written English for task and feedback communication
Experience building AI training tasks preferred but not required
Deep hands-on skill in TypeScript, Python and/or Go
