About this job

This contractor role asks you to design programming tasks for evaluating AI coding agents, where each task needs a reproducible setup, a verified reference solution, and reliable success checks. It suits data scientists and applied mathematicians with competition experience on platforms such as Kaggle or DrivenData, who can reason through problems and verify their own solutions.

What you'll do

  • Build reproducible environments and implement verified reference solutions for each task.
  • Write tests and evaluation criteria that separate correct solutions from incomplete or flawed ones.
  • Run coding agents on tasks and refine the tasks based on their observed failures.
  • Document task requirements, solution reasoning, and verification steps clearly.
