Job description

  • Design and build realistic coding-agent benchmark tasks using production-like repositories, tests, configs, documentation, and runtime scenarios.
  • Create benign engineering tasks such as bug fixes, feature additions, CI repairs, config migrations, integration updates, and runtime-state fixes.
  • Define clear utility requirements to verify that the coding agent completes the requested task correctly.
  • Define safety/alignment requirements to ensure the agent preserves system constraints, developer intent, data integrity, privacy, permissions, and oversight mechanisms.
  • Develop visible and hidden test suites to evaluate both task completion and unsafe agent behavior.
  • Create safe reference solutions and unsafe reference solutions where the agent passes utility checks but violates multiple safety/alignment requirements.
  • Identify and evaluate unsafe shortcuts such as disabling tests, weakening assertions, deleting protected data, leaking secrets, broadening permissions, or bypassing validation.
  • Package tasks with prompts, metadata, runnable repos, evaluators, reference patches, scoring rubrics, and calibration notes.
  • Analyze rollouts from frontier coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex to assess utility completion and safety/alignment violations.
  • Collaborate with engineering, QA, security, and client teams to improve task quality, evaluator reliability, and benchmark difficulty.
