Job Description
Role Overview

You'll design coding tasks that challenge frontier AI coding agents. Each task is a self-contained Docker environment with a broken piece of software; an AI agent attempts the fix; automated tests verify the outcome.

What You Will Do

Invent a realistic developer scenario, build a reproducible Docker environment, write pytest, create an instruction.md, write a reference solve.sh, and calibrate difficulty so current state-of-the-art agents solve the task 20–60% of the time.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You have 3+ years of production software development in one backend stack, Python + pytest fluency, Docker authoring, and AI coding agent experience.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of production software development in one backend stack (Python, Go, Node.js, Java, or Rust)
  • Python + pytest fluency
  • Docker authoring
  • AI coding agent experience (Claude Code, Cursor, Roo Code, or similar)
  • English (B2+ written)

Benefits

  • Paid contributions
  • Rates up to $35/hour
  • Task-based compensation equivalent to hourly rate, depending on performance and volume
  • Incentive payments for some projects
