Job description
- We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Senior Software Engineers with strong expertise in Python, Java, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript, algorithms, debugging, codebase development, DevOps, CI/CD, and performance optimisation to contribute to an advanced AI training and reinforcement-learning environment project.
- Selected professionals will create reproducible software-engineering environments that test advanced AI systems on realistic debugging, DevOps, CI/CD, command-line, and development workflows. Each environment will require deterministic validation and a golden reference solution. No prior experience in AI is required.
Responsibilities
- Engineering Environment & Workflow Development
- Design reproducible software-engineering tasks reflecting realistic development, DevOps, and CI/CD workflows
- Create scenarios involving build, test, deployment, automation, debugging, and command-line operations
- Develop feature-implementation and codebase-refactoring tasks across relevant programming languages
- Define clear objectives, constraints, expected behaviour, and acceptance criteria
- Incorporate tools such as Git, Docker, GDB, AddressSanitizer, FFmpeg, and comparable utilities
- Debugging, Performance & Software Quality
- Design and solve complex debugging and troubleshooting scenarios
- Identify root causes and develop maintainable technical fixes
- Analyse algorithms, data structures, latency, throughput, scalability, and resource utilisation
- Evaluate architectural and implementation trade-offs
- Ensure performance improvements and refactoring preserve intended behaviour
- Validation & Reference Solutions
- Create golden reference solutions for each environment
- Develop deterministic validation methods and objective success criteria
- Ensure evaluators distinguish correct, incomplete, and incorrect solutions reliably
- Maintain reproducibility across repeated executions
- Document technical reasoning, validation logic, and implementation decisions clearly
Requirements
- Strong professional software-engineering experience
- Proficiency in one or more of C++, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, or Rust
- Deep understanding of algorithms and data structures
- Strong debugging, performance-tuning, feature-development, and refactoring skills
- Experience with DevOps and CI/CD workflows
- Familiarity with Git, Docker, GDB, AddressSanitizer, or comparable command-line tools
- Experience building maintainable and scalable software systems
- Large-scale or distributed-codebase experience is highly valuable
- Strong code-review and software-engineering best-practice knowledge
- Excellent technical communication and attention to detail
- Familiarity with AI or machine-learning systems is advantageous but not required
- No prior AI-training experience is required
