• Develop reproducible environments with

deterministic verification and golden reference solutions .

• Design workflows that require AI agents to discover and reason over information using

MCP tools and real MCP servers .

• Evaluate AI-generated software solutions for

correctness, maintainability, performance, and scalability .

• Apply strong knowledge of

algorithms, data structures, debugging, and systems engineering to create challenging evaluation tasks.

• Provide structured technical feedback to improve

AI model reasoning and software engineering capabilities .

• Collaborate with technical teams to maintain consistent evaluation standards and high-quality deliverables.

Required Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in at least one of

C++, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, or Rust .

• Deep understanding of

algorithms, data structures, and performance optimization .

• Demonstrated experience debugging complex software issues and delivering

maintainable solutions .

• Strong background in

feature development and codebase refactoring .

• Proven ability to optimize software for

performance and scalability .

• Excellent

analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills .

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently.
• Experience collaborating effectively within

cross-functional or remote engineering teams .

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with

large-scale or distributed codebases .

• Familiarity with

AI, machine learning, generative AI, or AI agent systems .

• Experience with

MCP, agentic workflows, or developer tools .

• Background in rigorous

code reviews, software testing, and engineering best practices .

• Experience designing

benchmarks, evaluation environments, or technical assessments .

• Familiarity with

DevOps, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, or systems engineering .

Compensation

• Competitive compensation of $60–$120/hour.
• Hourly contract engagement.
• Part-time opportunity of approximately 15 hours per week.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling , including the option to choose your preferred working days and hours.
• Output-based compensation may apply, with payment based on completed tasks meeting project specifications.
