C++ Engineer

What you'll do

You review how well AI models handle modern C++. The material is generated C++ code, systems designs and technical explanations, and the faults you hunt are in logic, memory handling, concurrency and performance. You fact-check, write high-quality reference implementations with explained reasoning, and rank multiple model responses on correctness.

Compared with the C Engineer ad, this one is explicitly about modern C++ (C++11 and later): templates, move semantics, smart pointers and the STL. Reviewing for coding standards around safety, performance and maintainability is a named requirement.

Who fits

• A degree in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, or a close technical field
• 4+ years of production C++ for systems, performance-critical or large-scale applications
• Expert modern C++, and a systems background (concurrency, operating systems, low-level optimisation, memory management)
• Hands-on with build systems, compilers, debuggers and profiling tools; experience doing detailed C++ code reviews
• English at C1 or above, written and spoken
• A plus: earlier AI data training or evaluating AI-written technical content

Applicants are accepted from 17 countries, including the United States, Germany, Brazil and several South and Southeast Asian markets.

What it pays

SME lists up to $65 an hour, no floor stated, matching the C and C# engineer ceilings. The US-only C++ Team Lead role goes to $75. The ad does not state a payment method or schedule; SME's general terms are on the SuperAnnotate company page.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Skills such as low-latency work and profiling are named directly in the skill tags
• A senior-grade ceiling for review rather than build work
• Open outside the US

Less good:

• The ad says there is no immediate project for this role; qualified applicants are among the first contacted when a relevant project opens.
• Four years' experience plus C1 English is a high bar for a ceiling with no stated floor
• No hours or project length published
