Résumé du poste

ixolabs.ai is seeking a Scala Engineer for AI training to help generate Scala that uses cats, ZIO, or Akka idiomatically. You will review code for idiomatic FP and provide critique on type-class design and macro usage.

Role is remote, part-time (10–25 hours/week), and payment is handled weekly via Stripe or bank transfer. Start date is immediate, with ongoing flexible commitment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional Scala development.
• Deep familiarity with at least one major FP stack (cats, cats-effect, ZIO).
• Experience with Akka, Spark, or other large-scale Scala systems.
• Strong grasp of Scala's type system, including higher-kinded and dependent types.
• Comfort migrating between Scala 2 and Scala 3 codebases.
• Familiarity with sbt, Mill, or Gradle for Scala builds.

Responsabilités

• Generate and evaluate Scala instruction-response pairs spanning Scala 2.13 and Scala 3.
• Review AI-generated code for idiomatic FP using cats, cats-effect, ZIO, or Monix.
• Provide feedback on type-class design, implicits/givens, and macro usage.
• Validate AI handling of Akka actors, Akka Streams, and Spark applications.
• Evaluate AI outputs for testing with ScalaTest, ScalaCheck, and property-based testing.
• Identify subtle issues in for-comprehensions, variance, and type-level encodings.

Description du poste

About this role

Scala remains the language of choice for serious functional programming on the JVM and for big data systems like Spark — but its expressive type system and FP idioms regularly defeat AI assistants. As a Scala Engineer for AI training, you will help AI generate Scala that uses cats, ZIO, or Akka idiomatically rather than producing Java-with-different-syntax.

Responsibilities

• Generate and evaluate Scala instruction-response pairs spanning Scala 2.13 and Scala 3.
• Review AI-generated code for idiomatic FP using cats, cats-effect, ZIO, or Monix.
• Provide feedback on type-class design, implicits/givens, and macro usage.
• Validate AI handling of Akka actors, Akka Streams, and Spark applications.
• Evaluate AI outputs for testing with ScalaTest, ScalaCheck, and property-based testing.
• Identify subtle issues in for-comprehensions, variance, and type-level encodings.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional Scala development.
• Deep familiarity with at least one major FP stack (cats, cats-effect, ZIO).
• Experience with Akka, Spark, or other large-scale Scala systems.
• Strong grasp of Scala's type system, including higher-kinded and dependent types.
• Comfort migrating between Scala 2 and Scala 3 codebases.
• Familiarity with sbt, Mill, or Gradle for Scala builds.

Project Timeline

• Start Date: Immediate
• Duration: Ongoing
• Commitment: Flexible, 10-25 hours/week

Contract & Payment Terms

• Independent contractor agreement
• Remote work — anywhere in eligible locations
• Weekly payment via Stripe or bank transfer
• Flexible hours
