Python Developer - LLM

Engagement Type: Independent Contractor

Work Mode: Remote | Global

Schedule: Part-Time (15–25 hrs/week, flexible up to 40 hrs)

Duration: 1–3 Months | Immediate Start

Role Overview

We are hiring experienced Software Engineers (Python-focused) to support high-impact research collaborations with leading AI labs.

In this project-based engagement, you will contribute to building training datasets that improve AI model reasoning and problem-solving across real-world coding tasks.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your software engineering expertise toward shaping the next generation of intelligent systems.

About the Project

You will work on SWE-bench–style tasks derived from real open-source repositories.

Since frontier AI models do not expose their internal reasoning traces, your role will involve:

• Reconstructing model reasoning
• Annotating solution trajectories
• Inferring thought processes behind debugging and implementation steps

You will use your own developer problem-solving approach to reconstruct and annotate realistic reasoning flows.

Key Responsibilities

• Review model-generated code trajectories on realistic software engineering tasks
• Reconstruct step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning
• Annotate debugging logic, decision points, and problem-solving strategies
• Use full context (codebase, issues, test cases) to infer plausible reasoning
• Ensure technical accuracy and alignment with real-world developer workflows

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience
• Strong debugging experience in real codebases
• Proficiency in Python (primary)
• Familiarity with JavaScript / TypeScript or other open‑source languages (preferred)
• Experience with Git workflows (PRs, issue tracking)
• Ability to articulate technical reasoning clearly in writing
• Bachelor’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, or related field

Ideal Candidate

• Strong analytical thinker
• Comfortable explaining technical reasoning
• Detail‑oriented and methodical
• Familiar with open‑source contribution workflows
• Interested in AI and LLM research

Contract & Payment Terms
