Remote Software Engineer – Ruby

About the projects: We are building LLM evaluation and training datasets to train LLMs to work on realistic software engineering problems. One of our approaches in this project is to build verifiable SWE tasks based on public repository histories using a synthetic approach with a human-in-the-loop, while expanding dataset coverage to include different types of tasks across programming languages, difficulty levels, etc.

About the Role: We are looking for experienced software engineers (tech lead level) who are familiar with high-quality public GitHub repositories and can contribute to this project. This role involves hands-on software engineering work, including development environment automation, issue triaging, and evaluating test coverage and quality
