Position: Software Engineer, Go — Codebase Q&A;

Type: Contract Compensation: $130/hour Location: Remote Role Responsibilities

- Select tasks from a pre-validated pool of Go repositories, each pinned to a specific git commit and arriving with an engineering question, positive and negative rubrics, foils, and a golden solution.
- Explore the repository until you genuinely understand the subsystem in question, including the relevant PR or issue history.
- Rewrite the task's question to challenge frontier coding agents while ensuring it remains well-defined and fairly answerable.
- Adjust rubrics and foils to reward correct reasoning and reject plausible-but-wrong answers.
- Run the full validation loop in Studio — Check, Golden, Run, Analyze — and iterate until every stage passes.
- Document your work in the task README and submit for expert review, addressing reviewer feedback on returned tasks.

Qualifications Must-Have





- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial production Go.
- Ability to navigate a large, unfamiliar Go codebase and explain runtime behavior.
- Fluency in Go concurrency, interfaces, module boundaries, and the standard library.
- Precise written English for crafting questions and rubrics.
- Comfortable with git at commit level, containerized environments, and command-line tooling.

Preferred

- Experience with distributed systems, networking, storage engines, or Kubernetes-ecosystem tooling.
