Remote | GitHub Contributor — $50–$100/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced software engineers with strong open-source contributions and demonstrable GitHub or GitLab profiles to contribute to an advanced AI training and software engineering evaluation project.

Selected professionals will create reproducible reinforcement-learning environments designed to test advanced AI systems on realistic software engineering problems involving bug fixing, feature implementation, codebase refactoring, and performance optimisation. The work requires strong hands-on engineering expertise, high-quality public code contributions, and the ability to develop rigorous reference solutions and clearly document technical reasoning. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

Software Engineering & Open-Source Contribution

  • Contribute expert-level code samples and development solutions in Python3, Java, Rust, Go, C++, TypeScript, or comparable languages
  • Apply experience gained from real-world open-source or production codebases
  • Implement robust functionality while considering scalability, maintainability, and software quality
  • Demonstrate sound software engineering judgement across complex development tasks
  • Produce solutions that can be independently reproduced and validated

Debugging & Feature Development

  • Analyse, troubleshoot, and resolve complex software defects across diverse codebases
  • Identify root causes of incorrect behaviour, regressions, and system failures
  • Implement new features from requirements through validated delivery
  • Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks and inefficient implementation patterns
  • Address edge cases and ensure solutions remain reliable across relevant scenarios

Refactoring & Performance Optimisation

  • Refactor legacy or complex code to improve clarity, maintainability, and long-term reliability
  • Identify architectural or implementation weaknesses within existing systems
  • Improve software performance while preserving functional correctness
  • Evaluate trade-offs between development speed, scalability, complexity, and maintainability
  • Modernise codebases where appropriate without introducing unnecessary regressions

AI Evaluation Environments & Reference Solutions

  • Create reinforcement-learning environments that evaluate AI systems on realistic software engineering tasks
  • Develop reproducible problem environments and corresponding golden reference solutions
  • Design tasks involving bug fixing, feature implementation, codebase refactoring, and optimisation
  • Document technical reasoning, implementation decisions, and verification methodology clearly
  • Review and validate peer-contributed code and technical submissions for correctness and clarity

Ideal Profile

  • Clear and demonstrable open-source contributions through GitHub, GitLab, or comparable public development profiles
  • Significant hands-on expertise in at least one of Python3, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript
  • Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software engineering fundamentals
  • Proven ability to debug complex systems and resolve technically challenging software defects
  • Strong experience implementing robust software features
  • Experience with performance optimisation and technical bottleneck analysis
  • Background in large-codebase refactoring or legacy-system modernisation is advantageous
  • Track record of delivering meaningful technical contributions from conception through implementation
  • Strong ability to reason about code correctness, maintainability, and system behaviour
  • Excellent technical documentation and communication skills
  • Ability to review other engineers' code and identify technical weaknesses precisely
  • Interest in AI systems and technical evaluation is beneficial
  • No prior experience in AI training is required

Engagement Details

  • Part-time independent contractor engagement
  • Fully remote
  • Compensation: $50–$100/hour
  • Expected commitment: approximately 15 hours per week
  • Compensation is output-based, with payment made for tasks that meet project specifications
  • Minimum weekly submission requirements apply
  • Applicants must be able to demonstrate meaningful open-source contributions through a public GitHub, GitLab, or comparable profile
  • Work will involve software engineering, reinforcement-learning environment creation, debugging, feature development, refactoring, optimisation, and reference-solution development
  • The selection process may include screening questions, an approximately 30-minute AI interview, a technical assessment, and hiring-manager review
  • Selected professionals should be prepared to begin their first tasks within approximately 24–48 hours of completing onboarding
  • Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
  • Project scope, workload, task complexity, 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
