Role: Senior SWE - Python / TypeScript
Position: Contract Role
Location: Brazil Remote
Duration: 3 months (likely extension)
Commitments Required: At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours with PST.
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)
