Responsibilities:
- Create and work with coding environments, unit tests, and verifiers.
- Design and solve diverse coding problems used to train AI systems.
- Write clear, high-quality code and technical explanations.
- Evaluate model trajectories for accuracy, performance, readability, and best practices.
- Identify bugs, edge cases, and opportunities for improvement in AI-generated solutions.
- Provide structured feedback that helps improve the next generation of AI models.
Qualifications:
