Software Engineer AI Coding Tasks
<p>We're looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. US$1,000 per task, and you can do as many tasks as you want.</p><p>You turn a real change from a repository you know into a task that today's best AI coding models struggle with: hard for the models, but fair for a skilled engineer. Your tasks are used to measure and train AI coding models.</p><p>Remote, any location. US$1,000 per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How it works</strong></p><ol class="i0llva i0ll5y i0lmlu"><li><strong>Apply. </strong>Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.</li><li><strong>Propose.</strong> Once you're selected, pick a change from a repository you know and submit a short proposal. We approve it or suggest a better candidate.</li><li><strong>Build.</strong> In our platform, set up the repository as it was before the change, then write the brief, the correct solution and the grading checks.</li><li><strong>Stress-test. </strong>Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them.</li><li><strong>Model testing.</strong> Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.</li><li><strong>Review.</strong> A reviewer checks your task and you revise it. Most tasks take more than one round.</li><li><strong>Next task.</strong> Once your task is accepted, start another.</li></ol><p><br /></p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><ul class="i0llva i0ll5z i0lmlu"><li>2+ years of professional software engineering</li><li>Code merged into a public open-source repository, ideally one you know well.
