About the Opportunity
We’re looking for experienced software engineers and open-source contributors to help evaluate and improve next-generation AI systems. In this role, you’ll create realistic coding challenges that assess an AI model’s ability to fix bugs, implement features, refactor code, and optimize performance.
You’ll build reproducible reinforcement learning environments, develop deterministic verification systems, and provide reliable reference solutions. Prior AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities
• Create realistic and challenging coding tasks involving bug fixes, feature implementation, code refactoring, and performance optimization.
• Build reproducible reinforcement learning environments with verified reference solutions.
• Develop deterministic verifiers that accept valid solutions and reject incorrect implementations.




• Debug complex software defects and resolve performance bottlenecks across diverse codebases.
• Implement scalable, maintainable features following software engineering best practices.
• Refactor and optimize legacy code to improve clarity, efficiency, and reliability.
• Document technical reasoning, solution approaches, and implementation decisions.
• Review and validate code contributions for accuracy, quality, and clarity.

Required Qualifications
• Strong software engineering or backend development experience in Python, Java, Rust, Go, C++, TypeScript, or similar languages.
• Demonstrated ability to debug software, fix complex issues, and implement new features.
• Robust understanding of algorithms, data structures, and fundamental computer science concepts.
• Experience with automated testing, code reviews, and performance optimization.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications
