About this job

This contract role asks experienced software engineers to design reproducible reinforcement learning environments that test whether AI models can fix bugs, add features, refactor code, and optimize performance. Each task comes with a golden reference solution and a deterministic verifier. It suits backend developers with public open source work who can judge code quality, and no prior AI experience is required.

What you'll do

  • Build reproducible reinforcement learning environments with coding tasks for feature implementation and bug fixes.
  • Implement deterministic verifiers that accept reasonable valid solutions and reject all others.
  • Provide a golden reference solution for each problem.
  • Review and validate peer-contributed code and technical submissions for accuracy and clarity.
