Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks

Position: Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks (Contract)
We're looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. $750 Pounds 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. $750 Pounds per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.

How it works

 1. Apply. Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.

 2. 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.

 3. 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.

 4. Stress-test. Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them.

 5. Model testing. Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.

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

 7. 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. A private codebase you own may also qualify (not employer or client code)

* Strong in at least one of Python, Type Script, Go, Rust, Java or C++

* Solid with Docker, Linux, Git and automated testing

* Regular use of an AI coding tool

* Experience writing tests, rubrics or evaluation criteria, ideally for AI models

* You can explain a change clearly and concisely, in your own words

* At least 10 hours a week, starting now

* A secure personal or work computer (no public or shared machines)

Nice to have

* Deep expertise in one area, such as databases, compilers, distributed systems, security or infrastructure

* Experience building agent tasks or RL environments

Terms

 * $750 pounds for each task that passes our quality review, paid directly to you

* Once your proposal is qualified, you sign Askable's contract and accept its terms

* The work is used for AI training. The change and your solution must be your own, and you must be free to license them to us

* Don't publish the work anywhere: no public pull request or public fork
