Application Security Specialists, API Developers & Backend Engineers. Remote AI Project
We are seeking experienced Backend Engineers, Software Engineers, API Developers, Distributed Systems Engineers, Platform Engineers, and Security-Focused Developers to create realistic coding tasks used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems.
What You’ll Do
- Create realistic software engineering tasks based on production-style backend systems
- Design feature implementation challenges
- Create bug-fixing and debugging tasks
- Develop tasks involving APIs, services, databases, networking, and distributed systems
- Write deterministic verifiers and automated graders
- Ensure multiple reasonable correct implementations can pass
- Ensure incomplete, hardcoded, or incorrect solutions fail
- Design hidden tests and edge cases
- Create reference or golden solutions
- Review AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, security, and performance
- Identify system bottlenecks and performance issues
- Design refactoring tasks involving existing codebases
- Build security-focused coding scenarios when relevant
- Review task quality and identify unintended shortcuts
- Document expected behavior and technical requirements clearly
Who Can Apply
Relevant backgrounds include:
- Backend Engineers, Backend Software Engineers, Senior Backend Engineers, Backend Developers, Software Engineers, Server-Side Engineers, API Engineers, and Application Engineers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
