Job Description

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Senior Software Engineers with strong expertise in Python, Java, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript, algorithms, debugging, codebase development, DevOps, CI/CD, and performance optimisation to contribute to an advanced AI training and reinforcement-learning environment project.

Selected professionals will create reproducible software-engineering environments that test advanced AI systems on realistic debugging, DevOps, CI/CD, command-line, and development workflows. Each environment will require deterministic validation and a golden reference solution. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Environment & Workflow Development

  • Design reproducible software-engineering tasks reflecting realistic development, DevOps, and CI/CD workflows
  • Create scenarios involving build, test, deployment, automation, debugging, and command-line operations
  • Develop feature-implementation and codebase-refactoring tasks across relevant programming languages
  • Define clear objectives, constraints, expected behaviour, and acceptance criteria
  • Incorporate tools such as Git, Docker, GDB, AddressSanitizer, FFmpeg, and comparable utilities

Debugging, Performance & Software Quality

  • Design and solve complex debugging and troubleshooting scenarios
  • Identify root causes and develop maintainable technical fixes
  • Analyse algorithms, data structures, latency, throughput, scalability, and resource utilisation
  • Evaluate architectural and implementation trade-offs
  • Ensure performance improvements and refactoring preserve intended behaviour

Validation & Reference Solutions

  • Create golden reference solutions for each environment
  • Develop deterministic validation methods and objective success criteria
  • Ensure evaluators distinguish correct, incomplete, and incorrect solutions reliably
  • Maintain reproducibility across repeated executions
  • Document technical reasoning, validation logic, and implementation decisions clearly

Ideal Profile

  • Strong professional software-engineering experience
  • Proficiency in one or more of C++, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, or Rust
  • Deep understanding of algorithms and data structures
  • Strong debugging, performance-tuning, feature-development, and refactoring skills
  • Experience with DevOps and CI/CD workflows
  • Familiarity with Git, Docker, GDB, AddressSanitizer, or comparable command-line tools
  • Experience building maintainable and scalable software systems
  • Large-scale or distributed-codebase experience is highly valuable
  • Strong code-review and software-engineering best-practice knowledge
  • Excellent technical communication and attention to detail
  • Familiarity with AI or machine-learning systems is advantageous but not required
  • No prior AI-training experience is required

Engagement Details

  • Part-time independent contractor engagement
  • Fully remote and open globally
  • Expected commitment: approximately 15 hours per week
  • Displayed compensation range: $100–$150/hour
  • Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
  • Task completion time may vary depending on experience and workflow
  • Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
  • Work will involve reinforcement-learning environment creation, DevOps and CI/CD workflows, debugging, command-line tools, feature development, refactoring, performance optimisation, deterministic validation, and golden reference solutions
  • Screening may include an approximately 30-minute AI interview and technical assessment
  • Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours, with initial tasks expected within approximately 24–48 hours after onboarding
  • Project scope, workload, technical environments, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
  • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
