About this role
About The Job
About Surge AI
Surge AI partners with the world's leading AI labs to build the benchmarks and RL environments that train and evaluate frontier models. Most benchmarks cut corners because expert humans are expensive. Our model is the opposite: we pay experts enough that we don't have to.
Position: Senior Software Engineer (Agentic Coding RL Environments)
Type: Contract
Compensation: $100–150+/hour ($200–300k+/year). Rates scale with your experience, and many go past the top of that range.
Location: Fully remote, any time zone
Role Responsibilities
Must-Have:
What Makes This Different
Note: Currently, we are seeking Software Engineers from the following locations, and may expand in the near future: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Position: Senior Software Engineer (Agentic Coding RL Environments)
Type: Contract
Compensation: $100–150+/hour ($200–300k+/year). Rates scale with your experience, and many go past the top of that range.
Location: Fully remote, any time zone
Role Responsibilities
- Build coding RL environments and benchmarks that test how agents perform on realistic software engineering tasks
- Design tasks based on real engineering work
- Review and red-team model output to surface meaningful failures
- Write the tests, rubrics, and success criteria that separate good work from slop
- Give structured feedback that improves future models
Must-Have:
- Professional software engineering experience shipping real, scaled production systems
- Expertise in at least one common tech stack (TypeScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Rust, Go, or C++)
- Strong judgment about what good code and a meaningful model failure look like
- Comfort working independently, and giving direct, code-review-style feedback
- Availability for a meaningful commitment (most contributors work 20 to 40+ hours per week)
What Makes This Different
- No managers, 1:1s, OKR ceremonies, or Jira backlog grooming
- You choose when and where you work
- You are judged on the quality of what you produce, not speed
- Coding capability screen (replaces a multi-round interview loop)
- ID verification
- Background check
- Paid first real task. Do well, and you're on the team.
Note: Currently, we are seeking Software Engineers from the following locations, and may expand in the near future: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States.
