We’re looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. US$1,000 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. US$1,000 per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.

 

How it works

 

• Apply. Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.

• 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.

• 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.

• Stress-test. Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them.

• Model testing. Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.

• Review. A reviewer checks your task and you revise it. Most tasks take more than one round.

• 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

 

• US$1,000 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
