Job description

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems.

Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

We're building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents - how well a model handles real-world developer tasks.

You'll create challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments:

• Build realistic developer environments - a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development history
• Design tasks from intermediate states of these environments - craft the prompt, define what "solved" means, and ensure the task is solvable by an AI agent
• Write tests that verify agent solutions - accept all valid approaches and reject incorrect ones, neither too strict nor too lenient
• Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback - review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robust

What this is NOT: Not data labeling Not prompt engineering Not writing code from scratch - the agent writes most of the code; you guide and evaluate

What we look for

• 5+ years in software development
• Core stack: Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), Docker, Postgres, Kafka, Redis
• Experience writing tests (functional, integration)
• English proficiency - B2+

Why this is hard: Frontier models are already good at coding.

• Creating a task that genuinely challenges the best models is non-trivial.
• You need to deeply understand where models fail and what scenarios reveal the difference between a good and a bad solution.
• Tasks have many valid solutions - writing tests that accept all correct solutions and reject incorrect ones is harder than it sounds.

Requirements and benefits

Educational qualifications A Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science / Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, Computational Linguistics / Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Systems or other related fields.

Bachelor’s degree is accepted if candidate has 5 years of experience in the field.

Academic and/or Professional Experience Candidates should have a minimum of 3 years of professional experience in related roles or domain - specifically for QA-automation/testing or cybersecurity roles

Compensation

Paid per accepted task.

Your rate depends on the qualification tier you reach and how efficiently you complete tasks — up to the equivalent of $50/hr .

Because payment is per task, a faster pace raises your effective hourly rate.
