Go QA Lead - Remote
Job Description
Job Title: Go Quality Assurance Lead
Job Type: Contract
Location: Remote
About This Role
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Go Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Go AI training projects. You will review AI-generated Go code and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure contributors follow expected quality standards. You will assess work for code correctness, compile-time validity, runtime behavior, concurrency safety, error handling, readability, maintainability, performance, security awareness, test coverage, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role is a fast-growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Go quality leadership will help ensure Go training data is accurate, executable, idiomatic, efficient, clearly explained, and aligned with client expectations. Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and an interview with a recruiter. 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.
