About this role
Role Overview
This position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with a leading AI research lab on the Frontier Code Agents project. As an iOS Engineer, you will evaluate and enhance frontier AI coding models through structured technical assessments, focusing on realistic mobile engineering workflows rather than traditional software development.
Key Responsibilities- Utilize frontier AI coding agents to complete and evaluate complex engineering tasks.
- Review model-generated mobile application code for correctness, quality, maintainability, and performance.
- Identify bugs, edge cases, and failure modes in model outputs.
- Compare outputs from multiple frontier models and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
- Apply professional engineering judgment to realistic mobile engineering scenarios.
This is a sprint-based project that operates in 12-24 hour stretches based on client requirements.
CompensationCompensation is $400 per accepted task, with typical tasks taking approximately 2, 3 hours after ramp-up. Payment is tied to accepted work.
Qualifications- Minimum of 2 years of professional iOS engineering experience.
- Experience in building and maintaining production iOS applications using Swift and modern iOS frameworks.
- Regular use of AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or similar tools.
- Ability to evaluate model-generated mobile implementations and architectural decisions.
- Experience shipping production mobile applications is preferred.
