Role Description

Software Engineer - Backend

Contract (~15 hrs a week)

Location: Remote

Opportunity Snapshot:

• Time per task: 5 hours for trainers and 1.5 hours for reviewers
• Engagement: Project-based — paid per approved task
• Commitment: ~15 hours per week
• Location: Fully remote

You’ll need:

• Hands-on expertise in at least one of Python, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript

Your tasks:

• Build challenging coding problems from real repositories, with reproducible environments and verifiers
• Create Reinforcement Learning Environments that test a model’s ability to solve real software engineering problems:
• Tracking down subtle bugs
• Building non-trivial features
• Refactoring
• Optimizing performance
• Define the problem, build a reproducible environment, and write a reference solution for each task.

Scope of Work:

• Create realistic, challenging coding tasks for frontier AI models, drawn from repositories you know well.
• Design problems that require real engineering skill — subtle bugs, non-trivial features, meaningful performance work — not lookup or boilerplate.
• Build a reproducible environment for each task.
• Write deterministic verifiers that accept correct solutions across different valid implementations, while rejecting incorrect, incomplete, or hard-coded approaches.
• Provide a reference solution showing how the task can be solved.
• Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or unverifiable rather than submitting them.

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on expertise in at least one of: Python3, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript.
• Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles.
• Proven ability to debug complex systems, resolve bugs, and deliver effective optimizations.
• Experience with large codebase refactoring and legacy system modernization.
• Track record of delivering high-impact features from conception through delivery.
• Strong documentation and communication skills to articulate technical concepts clearly.
• Interest in AI and its technical challenges — previous AI experience not required.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is output-based; experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required may vary depending on your experience and workflow.
