Job summary

Explore more jobs is building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents by creating realistic developer environments, crafting tasks and tests, and evaluating agent solutions.

You will design tasks from intermediate stages, decide what constitutes a solved state, and iterate based on QA feedback to ensure fairness and robustness. Strong English skills (B2+) are required.

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

• Create challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments
• Design tasks from intermediate states of these environments, define what "solved" means
• Write tests that verify agent solutions and accept a range of correct approaches
• Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback to ensure fairness and robustness

Job description

What this opportunity involves:

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:

• 8+ 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.

Effort estimate:

Tasks for this project are estimated to take 30 hours to complete, depending on complexity. This is an estimate and not a schedule requirement; you choose when and how to work. Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.

Compensation:

Up to $200/hr equivalent, depending on level and pace. Tasks are estimated at approximately 30 hours each; you set your own schedule.
