Job Description

Title: Senior SWE - Python / TypeScript

Location: 100% Remote

Duration: 3 Months

Availability

Commitments Required: At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours with PST.

Skill
• Proficiency (5+ yrs) in Python (especially building/maintaining pipelines and infra) or Typescript (experience contributing to or navigating large codebases like VSCode a plus)
• Hands-on experience with preference data collection and/or rubric creation

About the Role
We're looking for a high-taste engineer with a strong eye for quality - someone who's worked hands-on with preference
data and rubric creation, and knows what separates a good example from a great one. You communicate clearly and can
synthesize complex technical work the way a strong MAI dev would: concise, structured, and easy for others to act on.
You're comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and default to shipping over deliberating.

What does day-to-day look like:
• Design, refine, and iterate on rubrics and evaluation criteria for preference data
• Review and label data with a high bar for quality, catching subtle issues others might miss
• Build and maintain pipelines/infra that support data generation, collection, and evaluation workflows
• Synthesize findings from data work into clear write-ups, updates, or recommendations for the team
• Collaborate closely with researchers/engineers to translate qualitative judgment into scalable processes

Required Skills:
• 5+ yrs of proficiency in Python (especially building/maintaining pipelines and infra) or Typescript (experience
contributing to or navigating large codebases like VSCode a plus)
• Hands-on experience with preference data collection and/or rubric creation
• Strong written and verbal communication - able to distill technical work into clear, actionable summaries
• Demonstrated high-taste judgment - able to articulate why something is good, not just that it is

Evaluation Process (approximately 30 mins):
• One round of interview (30 mins of technical & cultural discussion)
