• Ability to spot subtle logical flaws, memory leaks, or security vulnerabilities in model-generated code

What you'll be doing in the role

• Review AI-generated Python code for functional correctness and adherence to best practices
• Audit AI explanations for complex algorithmic solutions to ensure logical accuracy
• Execute model-generated scripts to verify performance and output
• Identify inefficient solutions, deprecated syntax, or hallucinated library methods
• Provide structured feedback on backend architecture, data pipelines, and API design discussions
