• *Work Mode:**

Remote | Global

• *Schedule:**

Part-Time (15-25 hrs/week, flexible up to 40 hrs)

• *Duration:**

1-3 Months | Immediate Start

Role Overview

We are hiring experienced

• *Software Engineers (Python-focused)**

to support high-impact research collaborations with leading AI labs.

In this project-based engagement, you will contribute to building training datasets that improve AI model reasoning and problem-solving across real-world coding tasks.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your software engineering expertise toward shaping the next generation of intelligent systems.

• *About The Project**

You will work on

• *SWE-bench-style tasks**

derived from real open-source repositories.

Since frontier AI models do not expose their internal reasoning traces, your role will involve:

• Reconstructing model reasoning
• Annotating solution trajectories
• Inferring thought processes behind debugging and implementation steps

You will use your own developer problem-solving approach to reconstruct and annotate realistic reasoning flows.

Key Responsibilities

• Review model-generated code trajectories on realistic software engineering tasks
• Reconstruct step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning
• Annotate debugging logic, decision points, and problem-solving strategies
• Use full context (codebase, issues, test cases) to infer plausible reasoning
• Ensure technical accuracy and alignment with real-world developer workflows
• *Required Qualifications**
• 2+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
• Strong debugging experience in real codebases
• Proficiency in Python (primary)
• Familiarity with JavaScript / TypeScript or other open-source languages (preferred)
• Experience with Git workflows (PRs, issue tracking)
• Ability to articulate technical reasoning clearly in writing
• Bachelor’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, or related field

Ideal Candidate

• Strong analytical thinker
• Comfortable explaining technical reasoning
• Detail-oriented and methodical
• Familiar with open-source contribution workflows
• Interested in AI and LLM research
