About the job Remote | AI Engineer - $60-$120/hour
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced software engineers with strong expertise in Python, Java, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript, algorithms, debugging, feature implementation, refactoring, and performance optimisation to contribute to an advanced AI training and software-engineering evaluation project.
Selected professionals will create reinforcement-learning environments that test an AI model's ability to solve complex software-engineering problems using Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. The work combines realistic codebase tasks, tool-based reasoning, deterministic verification, and the creation of high-quality reference solutions. No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities
Reinforcement Learning Environment Development
Create reproducible environments for evaluating advanced software-engineering capability Design tasks requiring agents to interact with and reason over real MCP servers Build scenarios that test practical engineering ability rather than isolated code generation Ensure environments accurately measure both tool use and software-engineering performance Maintain consistency and reproducibility across evaluation runs Software Engineering Task Design
Create realistic tasks involving bug fixing, feature implementation, refactoring, and performance optimisation Develop scenarios based on existing codebases and practical engineering constraints Design tasks that require meaningful reasoning across algorithms, data structures, and system behaviour Define clear success criteria and expected outcomes Balance technical complexity with reliable evaluability Golden Solutions & Verification
Develop high-quality golden reference solutions Create deterministic verification logic for task completion Validate expected behaviours, edge cases, and failure conditions Ensure evaluation systems distinguish correct from partially correct implementations Maintain stable and reproducible grading criteria Debugging, Refactoring & Performance
Diagnose and resolve complex software issues Implement maintainable features in existing codebases Refactor code while preserving intended functionality Identify performance bottlenecks and scalability issues Apply strong engineering judgement to maintainability, efficiency, and code quality Technical Review & Engineering Standards
Review task quality, code correctness, and verification robustness Contribute to software-engineering best practices Participate in rigorous technical and code-review workflows Document assumptions, design decisions, and implementation details clearly Collaborate effectively with distributed technical teams Ideal Profile
Strong proficiency in one or more of C++, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, or Rust Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and performance tuning Demonstrated experience debugging complex software issues Strong background in feature implementation and codebase refactoring Proven ability to optimise software for performance and scalability Experience working with large-scale or distributed codebases is highly valuable Familiarity with rigorous code-review processes and software-engineering standards Strong written and verbal communication skills High attention to technical detail and reproducibility Familiarity with modern AI or machine-learning systems is beneficial but not required Prior experience in AI training or model evaluation is not required Engagement Details
Part-time independent contractor engagement Fully remote Compensation: $60-$120/hour Expected commitment: approximately 15 hours per week Schedule is flexible, including evenings or weekends if preferred Compensation is output-based, with payment made for tasks that meet project specifications Minimum weekly submission requirements apply Work will involve reinforcement-learning environment design, MCP tool use, software-engineering task creation, deterministic verification, and golden reference solutions 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 Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
