This is a paid evaluation role for database engineers who will design realistic tasks that test how well AI agents handle database work. Each task is a self-contained problem with a reproducible environment, a working reference solution, tests, and grading criteria that separate robust engineering from code that only looks correct. It is aimed at experts with deep database-engine internals experience, not at DBA, SQL analytics, or ETL-only profiles.

This role involves evaluating and providing feedback on AI-generated Python code for correctness, efficiency, and security while designing complex backend algorithmic solutions. It is designed for experienced backend Python developers who want to contribute to cutting-edge AI research by helping train the next generation of AI systems to write better code.
This role involves reviewing and evaluating AI-generated Rust code to ensure correctness, memory safety, and systems-level performance. Experienced Rust engineers will assess the quality of AI outputs, design challenging problems to test AI understanding, and provide structured feedback to improve how AI models reason about systems programming.
Evaluation of AI model outputs against correctness, maintainability, security, and production readiness criteria, accessible to early-to-mid career professionals.
Evaluation and comparison of AI model solutions on realistic software engineering tasks: debugging, cross-repository logic tracing, feature implementation, code review, architecture decisions.
This remote study asks practicing software engineers to review programming tasks and the evaluation harnesses built to test AI agents on them. You will check whether the tasks, test cases and environment structure reflect realistic software engineering work. It suits engineers with solid experience building, testing and reviewing complex systems.
