FrontEnd Software Engineer

Role Overview: FrontEnd Software Engineer

One of Nexus Consulting's clients is actively seeking experienced FrontEnd Software Engineers to contribute to high-impact research collaborations with leading AI laboratories. This unique opportunity allows you to leverage your front-end engineering expertise to develop high-quality training datasets, directly enhancing AI model performance on real-world client-side web development tasks. You will play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of intelligent systems.

About the Project

You will be instrumental in creating high-quality “vibe coding” datasets specifically designed to train AI models in critical client-side web development skills. This includes areas such as state management, interactivity, UI correctness, and overall robustness. Projects may encompass a variety of applications:

• Interactive web applications
• Browser-based games
• Visualizations and simulations
• Front-end tools and utilities

Key Responsibilities

• Write realistic, self-contained prompts tailored for client-side web applications, games, and simulations.
• Develop precise, binary rubrics, clearly tagged by verification type, ensuring criteria are strictly pass/fail.
• Verify rubric criteria through visual screenshot analysis and detailed code inspection.
• Design complex tasks that thoroughly test UI behavior, logic correctness, and edge-case handling to challenge AI models.

Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in front-end or full-stack development, or significant experience in technical content creation focused on web development.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field is required (an advanced degree is preferred).
• Strong proficiency across a range of front-end technologies, including JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or solid vanilla JavaScript skills.
• Demonstrated ability to write clear, concise technical specifications and structured evaluation criteria.
• A highly detail-oriented mindset, with a strong emphasis on verifiability, precision, and accuracy in all development and evaluation tasks.

Project Details

• Start Date: Immediate
• Duration: 1–2 months
• Commitment: Part-time (15–25 hours/week, with flexibility to increase up to 40 hours/week)
• Work Arrangement: Fully remote and asynchronous
