Build challenging AI coding tasks from familiar repositories, including task briefs, correct solutions, grading checks, stress tests, and model evaluations. Revise tasks through quality review and produce work suitable for training and assessing AI coding models. Requires at least 10 hours weekly and strong software engineering, testing, repository, and AI coding tool experience.
We're looking for experienced software engineers to build AI coding tasks from a codebase they know well. US$1,000 per task, and you can do as many tasks as you want.
You turn a real change from a repository you know into a task that today's best AI coding models struggle with: hard for the models, but fair for a skilled engineer. Your tasks are used to measure and train AI coding models.
Remote, any location. US$1,000 per task that passes review. Minimum of one task a week, about 10 hours a week.
How it works
- Apply. Complete a short screener interview and upload your resume.
- Propose. Once you're selected, pick a change from a repository you know and submit a short proposal. We approve it or suggest a better candidate.
- Build. In our platform, set up the repository as it was before the change, then write the brief, the correct solution and the grading checks.
- Stress-test. Try lazy, incorrect and shortcut solutions and make sure your checks catch them.
- Model testing. Run your task against leading AI models until strong models often fail but a skilled engineer can clearly solve it.
- Review. A reviewer checks your task and you revise it. Most tasks take more than one round.
- Next task. Once your task is accepted, start another.
Requirements
- 2+ years of professional software engineering
- Code merged into a public open-source repository, ideally one you know well. A private codebase you own may also qualify (not employer or client code)
- Strong in at least one of Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java or C++
- Solid with Docker, Linux, Git and automated testing
- Regular use of an AI coding tool
- Experience writing tests, rubrics or evaluation criteria, ideally for AI models
- You can explain a change clearly and concisely, in your own words
- At least 10 hours a week, starting now
- A secure personal or work computer (no public or shared machines)
Nice to have
- Deep expertise in one area, such as databases, compilers, distributed systems, security or infrastructure
- Experience building agent tasks or RL environments
Terms
- US$1,000 for each task that passes our quality review, paid directly to you
- Once your proposal is qualified, you sign Askable's contract and accept its terms
- The work is used for AI training. The change and your solution must be your own, and you must be free to license them to us
- Don't publish the work anywhere: no public pull request or public fork

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
