About the role

We generate docstrings for 300,000 Python functions per month for software companies that want their codebases documented automatically. The generation is good. The quality control isn't — we currently do a statistical sample of 2% and rely on client feedback for the rest. When a client's codebase has 50,000 functions and 3% of docstrings are wrong, that's 1,500 documentation errors in production. This is a 5-month contract to build out the automated quality review layer. You'll write evaluation logic that checks generated docstrings against a set of quality criteria: factual consistency with the function signature, completeness of parameter documentation, presence of examples for complex functions, and style compliance with client conventions. The output is a quality score per docstring and a prioritized list of docstrings that need human review. You'll work with our lead documentation engineer and two ML engineers who built the generation system. It's a well-scoped project with clear success criteria: reduce the error rate that clients report from 3% to under 0.5%.

Fully remote.

Responsibilities

  • Build automated quality scoring for generated docstrings across quality dimensions
  • Implement factual consistency checks between docstrings and function signatures
  • Develop parameter documentation completeness validation
  • Create style compliance checking against client coding convention configurations
  • Build a prioritized review queue routing low-confidence docstrings for human review
  • Measure quality score correlation with human reviewer accuracy

Requirements

  • 1+ year of Python development experience
  • Familiarity with docstring conventions (NumPy, Google, reStructuredText)
  • Basic understanding of LLM output evaluation techniques
  • Attention to detail in code documentation quality
  • Comfortable reading and understanding Python code in unfamiliar codebases

Benefits

  • Fully remote contract position
  • Competitive hourly rate
  • Flexible hours within US/EU overlap
  • Mentorship from lead documentation engineer
  • Potential full-time offer after contract period
