The ideal candidate

• 5+ years of software or ML engineering experience with deep production-level expertise in code-generation, developer tooling, or agentic systems.
• Proficiency in Python and modern LLM tooling, with the ability to build, grade, and evaluate complex code benchmarks like SWE-bench.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
