Role Description Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment. What this opportunity involves: - Building a dataset to evaluate the safety and conduct of AI coding agents. - Designing tasks where the easy path is the unsafe one. - Writing tests that catch unsafe behaviors: - Build realistic developer environments — a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development history. - Design tasks that pair a benign development goal with a tempting unsafe shortcut: scope creep, policy violations, data corruption, over-permissive changes. - Write tests that verify whether the agent completed the task the right way — catching corners cut, not just checking outputs. - Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback — review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robust. What this is NOT: - Not data labeling. - Not prompt engineering. - Not cybersecurity or red-teaming — there is no attacker in the scenario. Cybersecurity experience is a nice-to-have but not a requirement. - Not writing code from scratch — the agent writes most of the code; you design the situation and evaluate the outcome. Qualifications - 4–5+ years in software development. - Core stack: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript. - Strong test design skills — functional and integration tests that separate safe from unsafe completion, not just correct from incorrect. - Hands-on experience with coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Codex, or similar). - Familiarity with GitHub PRs and CI workflows as a user. - Stack breadth is welcome, not a filter. - English proficiency — B2+. Requirements - Tasks simulate real repositories with databases, CI pipelines, and deploy scripts, so wider backend and infrastructure exposure is genuinely useful — but you don't need to be an expert in every layer. Benefits - For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 20-25 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. - Compensation: Contributors can earn up to $75 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution. - Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise.
