[Remote] Senior Python Engineer - AI Coding Agent Evaluation (Freelance)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. The Senior Python Engineer will create realistic software-development environments and challenging evaluation tasks for AI coding agents, write robust functional and integration tests, and refine tasks based on QA feedback.
Responsibilities
- Build realistic developer environments - a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development history
- Design tasks from intermediate states of these environments - craft the prompt, define what "solved" means, and ensure the task is solvable by an AI agent
- Write tests that verify agent solutions - accept all valid approaches and reject incorrect ones, neither too strict nor too lenient
- Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback - review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robust
