Freelance | 8–20 hrs/week | Remote (EU/UK)
Are you a software engineer who wants to apply your technical expertise in a new way?
Do you have 8 to 20 hours per week available alongside your current role or freelance work?
We are looking for experienced software engineers based in the EU or UK to help improve advanced AI systems.
What you’ll be doing
We are 10x.team, a platform for fractional and freelance professionals. We partner with leading AI labs to improve large AI systems.
Your role is practical and high impact. You will:
Review and refine AI generated responses related to software development and system design
Evaluate outputs for technical correctness, code quality and architectural soundness
Draft realistic engineering scenarios such as API design, distributed systems challenges, performance optimisation, refactoring strategies or debugging complex issues
Create variations of the same scenario from different perspectives such as backend engineer, frontend engineer, DevOps engineer, architect or engineering manager
Identify weaknesses in logic, edge case handling, scalability assumptions or security considerations
In simple terms:
You will assess and improve AI generated content to ensure it reflects real world engineering practice, clean code principles and robust system design.
This is not hands on product development. Instead of building a specific application, you will help improve how AI systems understand and reason about software engineering at scale.
Your input directly improves how AI performs on programming, architecture and technical problem solving topics.
Who this is for
You are:
A software engineer, developer, software architect or senior technical contributor
Based in the EU or UK
With several years of professional software development experience
Experienced in areas such as backend or frontend development, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, DevOps, security or system architecture
Comfortable identifying flawed code logic, scalability issues and unrealistic technical assumptions
Available 8 to 20 hours per week
Able to start in the coming weeks
This role is fully remote and flexible.
It works well alongside your existing professional commitments.
