About The Position

We are building LLM evaluation and training datasets to train LLM to work on realistic software engineering problems. One of our approaches, in this project, is to build verifiable SWE tasks based on public repository histories in a synthetic approach with human-in-the-loop; while expanding the dataset coverage to different types of tasks in terms of programming language, difficulty level, and etc. We are looking for experienced software engineers (tech lead level) who are familiar with high-quality public GitHub repositories and can contribute to this project. This role involves hands-on software engineering work, including development environment automation, issue triaging, and evaluating test coverage and quality. You’ll be at the forefront of evaluating how LLMs interact with real code, influencing the future of AI-assisted software development. This is a unique opportunity to blend practical software engineering with AI research.

Requirements

Minimum 3+ years of overall experience.
Strong experience in JavaScript / TypeScript.
Proficiency with Git, Docker, and basic software pipeline setup.
Ability to understand and navigate complex codebases.
Comfortable running, modifying, and testing real-world projects locally.

Nice To Haves

Experience contributing to or evaluating open-source projects is a plus.
Previous participation in LLM research or evaluation projects.
Experience building or testing developer tools or automation agents.

Responsibilities

Analyze and triage GitHub issues across trending open-source libraries.
Set up and configure code repositories, including Dockerization and environment setup.
Evaluating unit test coverage and quality.
