Software Engineer, AI (Python, Science background)
Remote
⚠️ We'll shut down after Aug 1st - try foo🦍 for all jobs in tech ⚠️
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 MedicineStrong 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.
