Go Engineer

What you'll do

You evaluate how well AI models write Go. You read generated code and explanations for correctness, readability and backend best practice, catch mistakes in concurrency and error handling, and write idiomatic model solutions. You also rank competing responses by correctness and reasoning.

The ad stresses backend-style Go: services, APIs and systems work. It expects you to use LLM coding assistants yourself while validating their output carefully.

Who fits

• 1 to 2+ years of professional Go, ideally backend services, APIs or systems work
• Understanding of Go idioms: clear error handling, composition, simple interfaces, concurrency patterns
• A Bachelor's degree in computer science or a closely related field
• C1 English and an extremely detail-oriented style
• Highly preferred: Gin, gRPC or Echo experience; preferred: merged open-source Go PRs, competitive programming, cloud-native exposure, profiling

What it pays

SME Careers lists up to $60 an hour, with no floor. It sits $10 below the same company's Go Team Lead listing (up to $70, US only). The ad does not say how payment is made or how often; the hiring process and payout terms SME publishes are covered on the SuperAnnotate page.

Worth knowing

Good:

• A modest experience bar (1 to 2+ years) for a $60 ceiling
• Open across 17 countries, mostly South and Southeast Asia plus Brazil, Germany and the United States
• Go-specific review work rather than generic coding tasks

Less good:

• The ad says there is no immediate project; qualified applicants wait for relevant work
• The degree requirement is stated as a minimum, and the ad asks for heavy LLM-assisted coding experience
• Hourly work is time-tracked
