Position: SWE Expert

Type: Contract

Compensation: $70–$150/hour

Role Responsibilities

  • Convert high-level objectives into tightly scoped, testable deliverables with clear inputs/outputs and measurable success criteria.
  • Create structured documentation defining expected behavior, constraints, and edge cases for reuse by other evaluators.
  • Build lightweight automation scripts to support evaluation flows, such as generating required artifacts and validating outputs.
  • Write deterministic Python verifier scripts for completion checks via final state or output validation.
  • Design prompts/tasks to reliably elicit target workflow behavior while avoiding leakage of internal instructions.
  • Implement robust error handling and actionable failure messages in verification tooling.
  • Develop plausible but ineffective “baseline” or “distractor” approaches to confirm evaluation discrimination.
  • Maintain clean artifact hygiene with versionable structure, consistent naming, and reproducible execution.

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • Strong Python skills in file system operations, parsing, validation, and deterministic execution.
  • Experience with evaluation harnesses, automated grading, or QA-style verification.
  • Familiarity with prompt design and LLM evaluation methodologies.
  • Comfort with structured specs and documentation conventions like Markdown and YAML.
  • Working knowledge of Git, CLI workflows, virtual environments, and dependency management.

Preferred

  • Knowledge of embeddings/similarity concepts like cosine similarity for negative-control design.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and control scope without relying on domain-specific context.
