Senior engineers for AI training

Senior engineers for AI training and coding-agent evaluation.

Screens are run by a staff engineer, not a recruiter. You get a written screening record for every shortlisted candidate, and a replacement if someone does not produce.

Screening notes

Screening method, not a candidate profile.

The gap

Titles and CVs do not show how someone reviews technical work.

A CV will not tell you whether someone can read unfamiliar code, apply your rubric the same way twice, and defend a call your reviewers can audit. That is the work. General recruiters are not set up to test it, and marketplaces hand the testing back to your team.

Roles

Four roles, one technical bar.

01

Coding evaluators

Review generated code for correctness and maintainability.

02

AI training engineers

Author and evaluate technical examples.

03

Agent task designers

Repository-level tasks that test real engineering workflows.

04

Technical QA leads

Calibrate reviewers and hold one standard.

The bar we screen to

What we check before anyone reaches your team.

  1. 01

    Eight or more years.

  2. 02

    A senior title actually held.

  3. 03

    Direct full-time engineering history rather than contract-only.

  4. 04

    Genuine availability of thirty to forty hours a week, confirmed in writing.

  5. 05

    Instruction-following from a written spec, tested rather than assumed.

  6. 06

    Specialists welcome. We do not send volume against a brief.

What you receive

A screening record for every shortlisted candidate.

Written to be argued with, not to sell.

Terms

No produce, no pay.

If an engineer we place does not produce, you do not pay for them and we replace them.

Evaluation data

Tasksets, graders and RL environments.

Priced per unit rather than per hour.

Who you are working with

The screen stays with one person.

Screens are run by a staff engineer with over a decade building and operating production software, who has personally interviewed several hundred senior engineers and engineering managers, and who does hands-on AI training work today.

Reach into senior engineers comes from four years mentoring in a US and Canada engineering programme, and ongoing membership of senior engineering communities in India.
