Job Description

Problem Design Engineer

Widget Factory

• Review code changes across unfamiliar repositories and tech stacks • Assess problem fairness: Could a skilled engineer solve this with only the given context? • Evaluate test quality: Do tests properly validate the intended solution? • Write clear justifications for your assessments (2-3 sentences per decision) • Flag coherence issues: Inconsistent artifacts, unclear requirements, missing context

Job Requirements

  • 1+ years of software engineering experience (internships, research projects, or professional work)
  • Fluent English; strong writing is a must
  • Responsive, independent, and attentive to detail
  • 0–25 hours per week, flexible

Benefits

  • Performance-based advancement: Top contributors can receive promotions and bonuses
  • Long-term engagement: We're building a scalable team, not a temporary workforce
