About this role
Lead the design and evaluation of next-generation coding agents by creating benchmarks, measurement methodologies, datasets, and the tooling that enables rigorous, large-scale assessment and improvement of coding models.
Key Responsibilities- Design and own evaluation frameworks for coding agents, including benchmark specifications, scoring methodologies, rubrics, and quality standards.
- Lead end-to-end research initiatives that measure and improve coding model performance across diverse software engineering tasks.
- Develop high-quality datasets, golden examples, and evaluation protocols to enable reliable assessment of frontier coding systems.
- Analyze model behavior and failure modes, identify systematic weaknesses, and translate findings into actionable improvements for training and evaluation.
- Build tooling and infrastructure to support large-scale experimentation, data generation, review workflows, and evaluation pipelines.
- Establish and document best practices for coding-agent assessment, ensuring methodological rigor, reproducibility, and measurement quality.
- Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and applied AI teams to design experiments and evaluate emerging model capabilities.
- Contribute to technical reports, benchmark studies, and client-facing research deliverables that communicate model performance and insights.
- Required skills: LLMs, coding, evaluation, AI evaluation, ML systems.
- Strong software engineering background with expertise in Python, C++, or comparable programming languages.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, AI research, evaluation, or related technical disciplines.
- Experience designing, reviewing, or validating technical assessments, benchmarks, coding tasks, or evaluation methodologies.
- Familiarity with large language models, coding agents, reinforcement learning, model evaluation, or related AI systems.
- Proven ability to build tooling, automate workflows, and improve technical processes through systematic experimentation.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to investigate model behavior and derive insights from complex technical systems.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate technical findings to diverse audiences.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving research environments with significant ambiguity and evolving priorities.
- Preferred experience: working on frontier AI systems, coding agents, or model evaluation research; designing benchmarks or datasets for machine learning at scale; familiarity with agentic workflows, tool use, reinforcement learning, or post-training methodologies.
- Preferred evidence of impact: publications, open-source contributions, or demonstrated technical leadership.
- Employment type: Full-time.
- Location: Remote.
- Salary range: $400, 000 to $800, 000 per year.
This is a full-time remote position. The listing does not specify work authorization or visa sponsorship details, candidates should ensure they are able to work in a remote capacity under their own authorization.
