Artificial Intelligence Distributed Systems Software Engineering Git Containerization Kubernetes Codebase

Job description

Select tasks from a pre-validated pool of Go repositories, each pinned to a specific git commit and arriving with an engineering question, positive and negative rubrics, foils, and a golden solution.
Explore the repository until you genuinely understand the subsystem in question, including the relevant PR or issue history.
Rewrite the task’s question to challenge frontier coding agents while ensuring it remains well-defined and fairly answerable.
Adjust rubrics and foils to reward correct reasoning and reject plausible-but-wrong answers.
Run the full validation loop in Studio - Check, Golden, Run, Analyze - and iterate until every stage passes.
Document your work in the task README and submit for expert review, addressing reviewer feedback on returned tasks., PS: Our team reviews applications daily. Please complete your AI interview and application steps to be considered for this opportunity.

Requirements

Must-Have

3+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial production Go.
Ability to navigate a large, unfamiliar Go codebase and explain runtime behavior.
Fluency in Go concurrency, interfaces, module boundaries, and the standard library.
Precise written English for crafting questions and rubrics.
Comfortable with git at commit level, containerized environments, and command-line tooling.

Preferred

Experience with distributed systems, networking, storage engines, or Kubernetes-ecosystem tooling.
