Software Engineer (Trajectory)

AI's ability to autonomously plan and execute complex software development tasks is a frontier we’re actively exploring. As a Software Engineer (Trajectory), you will critically analyze the multi-step reasoning and iterative problem-solving capabilities of cutting-edge AI coding agents.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate entire software development trajectories, from initial problem understanding to final solution implementation.
• Assess the planning capabilities of AI agents, scrutinizing their decomposition of tasks and strategic approach.
• Debug and identify flaws in AI-generated code, providing detailed explanations for errors and suggesting corrections.
• Analyze the iterative refinement process of AI agents, observing how they learn from feedback and adapt their solutions.
• Provide structured feedback on the efficiency and effectiveness of AI-driven debugging and testing strategies.
• Document observations and insights to improve AI agent performance in complex, multi-stage coding challenges.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on problem-solving and debugging.
• Demonstrated ability to dissect and understand complex codebases across different languages.
• Experience with various debugging tools and methodologies (e.g., GDB, PyCharm debugger, browser dev tools).
• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) and behavioral-driven development (BDD) principles.
• Strong analytical skills to evaluate logical flow, error handling, and edge cases in software solutions.
• Prior experience in mentoring junior developers or reviewing complex engineering tasks is a plus.

Project Timeline

• Start Date: Within 1-2 weeks
• Duration: 3-6 months, with potential for extension
• Commitment: 20-30 hours/week
