About the role
Remote · Contract · $45-75/hr, paid weekly · 10–20+ hrs/week
We build coding tasks used to train and evaluate frontier AI coding agents. We're looking for experienced software engineers to design them.
How it works: A short screener, a brief AI interview, and a paid work trial on the codebase you'd keep working on. US and Canada preferred for timezone overlap; exceptional candidates elsewhere are welcome. LinkedIn and GitHub required.
Scope of Work
- Writing realistic engineering tasks on full-stack web apps: the kind of problem a real team has in its backlog, on codebases that grow as each task builds on the last.
- Writing the tests that decide whether a solution is correct.
- Going beyond the UI: new services and APIs, a backend in another language (Go, Rust, Java), gRPC, rate limiting — drawing on systems you've actually built.
- Sharing what you've seen work in other projects and flagging what should change in ours.
- The apps are TypeScript (React, Node, SQLite, Playwright). Use AI tools as much as you like to write code and tests.
What you’ll bring
- Solid professional software engineering experience, backend and frontend.
- You've built and debugged real systems, and you care about testing them well.
- Clear written communication, and comfort working independently from written docs.
- 10–20+ hours a week, starting soon.
- Must be 18+ years old and fluent in English.
- Current primary work must be a Software engineer (backend, full-stack or frontend), ML / AI engineer, or Authoring coding tasks or environments for AI training/evaluation.
- Must have more than 5 years of paid, full-time-equivalent experience writing production software.
- Must have personally authored coding tasks with issue descriptions and test suites for AI training or evaluation.
- Must have experience authoring coding tasks or benchmarks used to train or evaluate software-engineering agents in an RL or agentic environment.
- Must be able to commit 10 to 20, or more than 20 hours per week, starting next week.
