AI Evaluation Engineer (Python, QA or Security)
About The Position
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment. This opportunity involves building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents by creating challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments. You will build realistic developer environments, design tasks from intermediate states, write tests to verify agent solutions, and iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback. This role is not data labeling, prompt engineering, or writing code from scratch.
Requirements
- 5+ years in software development
- Core stack: Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), Docker, Postgres, Kafka, Redis
- Experience writing tests (functional, integration)
- English proficiency - B2+
Responsibilities
- Build realistic developer environments - a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development history
- Design tasks from intermediate states of these environments - craft the prompt, define what "solved" means, and ensure the task is solvable by an AI agent
- Write tests that verify agent solutions - accept all valid approaches and reject incorrect ones, neither too strict nor too lenient
- Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback - review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robust
Benefits
- Project-based opportunities
- Set your own schedule
- Compensation up to $50/hr equivalent
