Build and validate challenging Codebase Q&A tasks for AI agents using production Go repositories. Responsibilities include exploring unfamiliar codebases, understanding runtime behavior and history, rewriting engineering questions, refining rubrics and foils, running validation workflows, documenting tasks, and responding to expert review. Work is fully remote, asynchronous, and paid per approved task.
This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $130 per task
We are seeking experienced Go engineers to build the dataset that teaches AI agents to reason about real codebases.
Codebase Q&A is a reinforcement-learning environment for training AI agents to explore and reason about software repositories they have never seen before. You will build difficult codebase-exploration tasks: high-level engineering questions about production Go repositories that cannot be answered by reading a single file, and that require runtime evidence to resolve — the kind of question a senior engineer answers by actually investigating the system.
This track works on infrastructure-grade Go codebases including etcd, Traefik, Helm, Kustomize, CoreDNS, NATS Server, Temporal, Syncthing, restic, Authelia, BadgerDB, quic-go, gRPC-Go, Hugo, rclone, Trivy, cert-manager and Pion WebRTC.
Contract, task-based work paid at $130 per approved task, performed remotely in our Studio.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Select tasks from a pre-validated pool of Go repositories, each pinned to a specific git commit and arriving with an engineering question, positive and negative rubrics, foils, and a golden solution
- Explore the repository until you genuinely understand the subsystem in question, including the relevant PR or issue history
- Rewrite the task's question so it defeats frontier coding agents while remaining well-defined and fairly answerable
- Adjust rubrics and foils so they reward correct reasoning and reject plausible-but-wrong answers
- Run the full validation loop in Studio — Check, Golden, Run, Analyze — and iterate until every stage passes
- Document your work in the task README and submit for expert review, addressing reviewer feedback on returned tasks
Ideal Qualifications
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial production Go
- Demonstrated ability to navigate a large, unfamiliar Go codebase and explain how it behaves at runtime — not just what the source says
- Fluency in Go concurrency, interfaces, module boundaries, and the standard library; comfort reading generated code and build tooling
- Experience with distributed systems, networking, storage engines, or Kubernetes-ecosystem tooling is highly relevant — the task mix is weighted toward architecture and system design (42%), code onboarding (26%) and root-cause analysis (20%)
- Precise written English: the questions and rubrics you write are the product
- Comfortable with git at commit level, containerized environments, and command-line tooling
Working Details
- Fully remote and asynchronous, with expert team leads across US, India, and Nigeria time zones
- Work is performed in our Studio; time is tracked with Insightful, and platform access is provisioned through Okta
- Onboarding requires identity verification, a background check, signed Terms of Work and CIIAA, a tax form, and passing a short calibration quiz before task access is granted
- Payment is per approved task; every task is reviewed by a second engineer and a super reviewer before acceptance
Application Process
- Submit your resume or relevant technical background to get started
- Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief technical assessment or provide additional information
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

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
