Go Engineer

As an hourly paid, fully remote Go Engineer for AI Data Training, you will review AI-generated Go code and explanations or generate your own, evaluate the reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving, and provide expert feedback that helps models produce answers that are accurate, logical, and clearly explained. You will assess solutions for correctness, readability, and adherence to backend-style best practices; identify errors in concurrency, error handling, or conceptual understanding; fact-check information; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate idiomatic Go; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation model labs, and your work will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models while giving you the flexibility of impactful, detail-oriented remote contract work.
