Job description

About the Projects

We are building LLM evaluation and training datasets to train LLMs to work on realistic software engineering problems. One of our approaches, in this project, is to build verifiable SWE tasks based on public repository histories in a synthetic approach with human‑in‑the‑loop while expanding the dataset coverage to different types of tasks in terms of programming language, difficulty level, and other dimensions.

About the Role

We are looking for experienced software engineers (tech lead level) familiar with high‑quality public GitHub repositories and can contribute to this project. This role involves hands‑on software engineering work, including development environment automation, issue triaging, and evaluating test coverage and quality.

Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities

• Analyze and triage GitHub issues across trending open‑source libraries.
• Set up and configure code repositories, including Dockerization and environment setup.
• Evaluate unit test coverage and quality.
• Modify and run codebases locally to assess LLM performance in bug‑fixing scenarios.
• Collaborate with researchers to design and identify repositories and issues that are challenging for LLMs.
• Lead a team of junior engineers on projects.

Required Skills

• Minimum 3+ years of overall experience.
• Strong experience with at least one of the following languages: C++.
• Proficiency with Git, Docker, and basic software pipeline setup.
• Ability to understand and navigate complex codebases.
• Comfortable running, modifying, and testing real‑world projects locally.
• Experience contributing to or evaluating open‑source projects is a plus.

Nice to Have

• Previous participation in LLM research or evaluation projects.
• Experience building or testing developer tools or automation agents.

Commitments Required: At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours with PST. (We have 3 options of time commitment: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week or 40 hrs/week)
