You'll review AI-generated code snippets and rate them on correctness, efficiency, readability, and security. Tasks typically run 15โ45 minutes and are completely self-containedโno ongoing projects unless you opt in. Work spans real production-style codebases from leading AI labs: you might evaluate a sorting algorithm one session and a distributed system design the next. Feedback is structured (rubrics provided), so you're never guessing what 'good' looks like. Expect to explain your reasoning in writing alongside your ratings. No deadlinesโlog on whenever your schedule allows and pick up tasks from the queue.
Python is #1 (40+ jobs), followed by Java, C++, and Rust. TypeScript/JavaScript also see high volume. Platforms like Mercor, Micro1, and SME Careers regularly post specialized language roles.
No. You need strong programming fundamentals and pass a technical assessment. Self-taught developers, bootcamp grads, and experienced engineers all qualify based on skill level.
Experienced engineers can expect rates ranging from $60-80+/hr for Python/Java roles, with some Rust/C++ opportunities potentially reaching higher amounts. Rates vary significantly by platform and locationโUS-based workers typically earn more than those in other countries. You typically need 3+ years professional experience.
