  • Run and modify codebases locally to assess LLM bug-fixing performance.
  • Collaborate with researchers to design/select repositories and tasks challenging for LLMs.
  • (Optional) Lead junior engineers collaborating on evaluation tasks.

Why Join:

  • Work remotely on impactful AI + software engineering projects.
  • Collaborate with researchers shaping the future of AI-assisted development.
  • Opportunity to contribute to real-world open-source challenges while influencing LLM training and evaluation.
