G2i - Senior/Staff Software Engineer | AI Task Creation

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, but this role involves designing and building the tasks themselves, which requires a different skill set from typical product engineering. Contract: independent contractor, fully remote. Hours: 40 a week is ideal; part-time is welcome, with 20 a week preferred and 10 the minimum. Hiring process: take-home assessment (about 90 minutes), background check, offer, and a paid training project of up to 7 days.

Responsibilities

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 tasks based on feedback from G2i reviewers and team leads until they meet the lab's quality bar; Work mostly independently, with support from reviewers and a shared engineer channel

Requirements

Engineers who have built AI training tasks before (top priority), including contractor experience; Very strong senior, staff or principal engineers who have not yet built AI training tasks; Senior to principal-level engineering experience; Deep, hands-on skill in TypeScript, Python and/or Go; Strong code reading and writing skills without relying on AI tools; Clear written English

Nice to have

Experience building AI training tasks or environments for a frontier lab or data lab; Contractor experience

Benefits

Paid $1,000 USD per completed task; Training project paid $600 USD upon passing; Flexible schedule, with any day of the week available; Fully remote work; No need to leave a full-time role to work part-time; Possible access to other G2i frontier AI projects
