We're looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. $750 Pounds per task, and you can do as many tasks as you want.
You turn a real change from a repository you know into a task that today's best AI coding models struggle with: hard for the models, but fair for a skilled engineer. Your tasks are used to measure and train AI coding models.
Remote, any location. $750 Pounds per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.
How it works
1. Apply. Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.
2. Propose. Once you're selected, pick a change from a repository you know and submit a short proposal. We approve it or suggest a better candidate.
3. Build. In our platform, set up the repository as it was before the change, then write the brief, the correct solution and the grading checks.
4. Stress-test. Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them.
5. Model testing. Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.
6. Review. A reviewer checks your task and you revise it. Most tasks take more than one round.
7. Next task. Once your task is accepted, start another.
Requirements
* 2+ years of professional software engineering
* Code merged into a public open-source repository, ideally one you know well. A private codebase you own may also qualify (not employer or client code)
* Strong in at least one of Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java or C++
* Solid with Docker, Linux, Git and automated testing
* Regular use of an AI coding tool
* Experience writing tests, rubrics or evaluation criteria, ideally for AI models
* You can explain a change clearly and concisely, in your own words
* At least 10 hours a week, starting now
* A secure personal or work computer (no public or shared machines)
Nice to have
* Deep expertise in one area, such as databases, compilers, distributed systems, security or infrastructure
* Experience building agent tasks or RL environments
Terms
* $750 pounds for each task that passes our quality review, paid directly to you
* Once your proposal is qualified, you sign Askable's contract and accept its terms
* The work is used for AI training. The change and your solution must be your own, and you must be free to license them to us
* Don't publish the work anywhere: no public pull request or public fork
