Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks

Worldwide Contract Negotiable Posted on October 17, 2026 Expires on November 18, 2026

We're looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. US $1,000 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. US $1,000 per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.

How it works

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.

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.

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

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

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

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
