• 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.

Your Profile :

• 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.
