Job description

***This opportunity is intended for experienced Senior Python Engineers only****

Open to candidates in the North America, South America, Asia and Europe.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

We're building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents - how well a model handles real-world developer tasks.

You'll create challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments:

- 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

What this is NOT

- Not data labeling
- Not prompt engineering
- Not writing code from scratch - the agent writes most of the code; you guide and evaluate

What we look for - You must meet all the requirements in order to be considered for this project:

- 5+ years of professional experience with Python.
- Strong experience with FastAPI, pytest, and async/await.




- Hands-on experience with Docker, PostgreSQL, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Proven experience writing and maintaining automated tests (not just executing them).
- Full-stack experience with React and TypeScript is a plus.
- English proficiency at B2 level or higher.
- Availability to work 30+ hours per week.

Why this is hard

Frontier models are already good at coding. Creating a task that genuinely challenges the best models is non-trivial. You need to deeply understand where models fail and what scenarios reveal the difference between a good and a bad solution. Tasks have many valid solutions - writing tests that accept all correct solutions and reject incorrect ones is harder than it sounds.
