Job Description

What We're Researching

We're running a paid study on the evolving landscape of AI-assisted software engineering. The goal is to understand how modern code generation tools fit into everyday development workflows. Your insights will help us map the current state of developer productivity and tool adoption.

How It Works

You will join a remote video call to walk us through your typical programming environment. We will ask you to share examples of how you integrate code assistants into your daily tasks. You will also discuss the strengths and limitations of the specific models you rely on. The conversation will focus heavily on practical use cases, debugging habits, and prompt strategies.

Who This Is For

We are looking for software engineers, developers, and technical leads who actively write code. You must have hands-on experience using modern AI assistants, such as Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor. We welcome backend, frontend, full-stack, and mobile developers across all tech stacks.

What You'll Do

  • Walk us through your typical software development workflow
  • Describe how you use AI coding assistants to write or debug code
  • Compare different models or tools you have tried recently
  • Discuss the challenges or limitations you encounter when relying on generated code

Who Should Apply

  • Active software engineer or developer
  • Hands-on experience with tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code
  • Comfortable discussing technical workflows and debugging strategies

About Terac

Terac is building the infrastructure layer that connects AI systems with on-demand human expertise.

We believe the future of work is shifting: instead of humans using AI to do most tasks, AI will increasingly do most work with the help of humans. In that world, companies won’t need traditional employees - but they will still need people. Terac powers that future by making high-quality human labor accessible through a single API.

Today, Terac operates as an expert network for frontier research. We handle sourcing, verification, screening, and payouts so partners can instantly access specialized talent for research, evaluation, and data generation. Our platform enables companies to tap into niche expertise on demand while focusing on building their core products.

Backed by $9M from Emergence, SignalFire, Audacious, and Z Fellows, we’re scaling from research tooling into a broader marketplace for the human data economy - building systems for expert matching, pricing, routing, and trust that will define how AI and humans collaborate at scale.
