Software Engineer — AI Coding Task Authoring (micro1)
What the work involves
micro1 is engaging Software Engineers to author realistic, challenging coding tasks that AI models must solve — and to build the deterministic verifiers that grade them, accepting every reasonable valid solution and rejecting everything else. You'll lean on strong backend experience (Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, C++ or similar) and a solid testing background to design problems that are genuinely hard for the right reasons.
No prior experience in AI is required — your engineering judgement is what matters. Contractor, fully remote and flexible (~15 hrs/week), with compensation paid per task that meets the project
What you'll do
- Create realistic, interesting and challenging coding tasks for AI to solve, spanning feature implementation and bug fixes
- Implement deterministic verifiers that accept reasonable valid solutions and reject everything else
- Design tasks around scalable services, APIs, debugging, performance work and automated testing
- Apply code-review instincts to keep task specs and reference solutions unambiguous
- Contribute to test strategy — building and maintaining suites, diagnosing flaky tests, raising the testing bar
- Identify and resolve software bugs and system bottlenecks in the problems you design
- Complete a short AI interview (~30 minutes) and a technical assessment without outside assistance
- Meet the minimum weekly task submission and start within 24–48 hours of onboarding
Requirements & eligibility
- Strong backend experience in Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, C++ or similar
- A track record of building scalable services and APIs
- Comfort with debugging, performance work and automated testing
- Solid code-review instincts
- Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures and foundational computer science
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving and technical communication skills
- A strong testing background — test strategy, large suites, flaky-test diagnosis (a big plus)
- Willing to complete the interview and assessment stages without outside assistance
