About the role

As a C++ Engineer, you will work remotely on an hourly paid basis to review AI-generated C++ code, systems designs, and technical explanations, as well as generate high-quality reference implementations and step-by-step reasoning for complex engineering problems. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, safety, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in logic, memory handling, concurrency, or performance; fact-check technical information; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This fully remote, hourly paid contractor role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI data services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data to many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation model labs, where your C++ and systems expertise will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models used by millions of developers worldwide.|

Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

What you'll do

  • Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts in various topics and responses to guide AI learning, ensuring the models reflect a comprehensive understanding of diverse subjects.
  • Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to enhance the model's accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance.
  • Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI models for potential inaccuracies or biases, validating their reliability across use cases.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • 4+ years of professional experience developing production software in C++ for systems, performance-critical, or large-scale applications.
  • Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 and later), including templates, move semantics, smart pointers, and the STL.
  • Strong background in systems programming concepts such as concurrency, operating systems, low-level performance optimization, and memory management.
  • Hands-on experience with C++ build systems, compilers, linkers, debuggers, and profiling or analysis tools.
  • Minimum C1 English proficiency (written and spoken), with the ability to write clear technical explanations and follow detailed English-language guidelines.
  • Proven experience conducting detailed C++ code reviews and enforcing coding standards for safety, performance, and maintainability.
  • Comfort working with version control, CI/CD workflows, and automated testing frameworks in modern C++ projects.
  • Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.
  • Highly detail-oriented and systematic, with a methodical approach to evaluating reasoning quality and identifying subtle issues in complex C++ code.
