? WE ARE HIRING!!!

? Senior Software Engineer – Production Systems & Code Safety

? Contract Duration: 2-3 Months (Remote)

⏱️ Engagement: 8hrs (4hrs adaptable and 4hrs is fixed, overlap with PST)

✅ Mandatory Experience

8-12 years of hands-on software engineering experience in building, deploying, and maintaining production-grade enterprise software in leading product companies or technology startups.

? Key Responsibilities:

● Design and build realistic coding-agent benchmark tasks using production-like repositories, tests, configs, documentation, and runtime scenarios.

● Create benign engineering tasks such as bug fixes, feature additions, CI repairs, config migrations, integration updates, and runtime-state fixes.

● Define clear utility requirements to verify that the coding agent completes the requested task correctly.

● Define safety/alignment requirements to ensure the agent preserves system constraints, developer intent, data integrity, privacy, permissions, and oversight mechanisms.

● Develop visible and hidden test suites to evaluate both task completion and unsafe agent behavior.

● Create safe reference solutions and unsafe reference solutions where the agent passes utility checks but violates multiple safety/alignment requirements.

● Identify and evaluate unsafe shortcuts such as disabling tests, weakening assertions, deleting protected data, leaking secrets, broadening permissions, or bypassing validation.

● Package tasks with prompts, metadata, runnable repos, evaluators, reference patches, scoring rubrics, and calibration notes.





● Analyze rollouts from frontier coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex to assess utility completion and safety/alignment violations.

● Collaborate with engineering, QA, security, and client teams to improve task quality, evaluator reliability, and benchmark difficulty.

? Qualifications

● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline.

● Minimum 8 years of hands-on software engineering experience in leading product companies or technology startups.

● Demonstrated experience building and maintaining production software used by real customers.

● Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, Go, C++ ( Python is must )

● Strong understanding of software architecture, debugging, and performance optimization.

? Required Technical Experience

Production Engineering

● Experience developing software deployed in production at scale.

● Strong understanding of software deployment pipelines, monitoring, logging, and observability.

● Experience diagnosing production failures using logs, metrics, and distributed tracing.

● Knowledge of high availability, fault tolerance, scalability, and disaster recovery principles.

Secure Software Development

● Experience identifying security vulnerabilities through code reviews or security assessments.

● Practical knowledge of common software vulnerabilities, including:





○ Injection attacks

○ Authentication and authorization flaws

○ Memory safety issues

○ Race conditions

○ Deserialization vulnerabilities

○ Secrets management issues

○ Input validation failures

● Experience implementing secure code fixes and validating remediation.

? Preferred Qualifications

● Experience with Secure SDLC practices.

● Experience reviewing pull requests from a security and reliability perspective.

● Knowledge of OWASP Top 10, CWE, CVE analysis, or secure coding standards.

● Experience mentoring engineers on software quality and security best practices.

? Desired Candidate Profile The ideal candidate should have:

● Experience working in leading product development companies or high-growth technology startups where the primary responsibility was designing, building, and operating software products used by external customers.

● Building reusable software libraries, SDKs, or frameworks.

● Designing stable public APIs with strong emphasis on backward compatibility and versioning.

● Building infrastructure or platform services used across multiple engineering teams.

● Built and operated enterprise software in real production environments.

● Practical experience finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in application code.

● Strong debugging and systems-thinking skills.

● Excellent communication and technical documentation abilities.

● Ability to balance functionality, performance, reliability, and security when designing software.
