Part-time remote work, about 15 hours a week on your own schedule, for a backend engineer who cares about testing. You build realistic feature and bug fix problems and the deterministic verifiers that judge them, so a strong test strategy background really pays off here.

What you will do

  • Create realistic, challenging coding tasks on feature implementation and bug fixes.
  • Write deterministic verifiers that accept reasonable valid solutions and reject everything else.

What you need

  • Strong backend experience in Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, C++ or similar.
  • A record of building scalable services and APIs.
  • Comfort with debugging, performance work, automated testing and code review.
  • A big plus: a strong testing background, such as designing test strategy, maintaining large test suites, diagnosing flaky tests or raising a team's testing bar.
  • Experience with refactoring and complex features in large codebases, and a strong grasp of algorithms and data structures.
  • No earlier AI experience is needed.

How pay works
