About the Project
We are building LLM evaluation and training datasets to train large language models (LLMs) to work on realistic software engineering problems. A key approach in this project involves creating verifiable SWE tasks from public repository histories in a synthetic, human-in-the-loop process. The goal is to expand dataset coverage across programming languages, complexity levels, and problem domains.
This role blends hands-on software engineering with AI-focused research, giving you a chance to work at the intersection of open-source software and cutting-edge AI systems.
Responsibilities :
- Analyse and triage GitHub issues across trending open-source libraries.
- Set up and configure repositories (including Dockerization and development environment setup).
- Evaluate unit test coverage and quality across projects.
- Run and modify codebases locally to assess LLM bug-fixing performance.
- Collaborate with researchers to design / select repositories and tasks challenging for LLMs.
- (Optional) Lead junior engineers collaborating on evaluation tasks.
