Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks

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. 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. Remote, any location. US$1,000 per task that passes review.

Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week. How it works Apply. Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.

Propose. 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.

Build. In our platform, set up the repository as it was before the change, then write the brief, the correct solution and the grading checks. Stress-test.

Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them. Model testing. Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.

Review. A reviewer checks your task and you revise it. Most tasks take more than one round.

Next task. Once your task is accepted, start another

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional software engineering Code merged into a public open-source repository, ideally one you know well.
