Job Title
AfterQuery is hiring software engineers to author original coding tasks based on real codebases, used to evaluate and train advanced AI coding agents.
About the Role
You'll connect one of your own private codebases and turn a real engineering problem from it into a task: a clear, maintainer-style issue, a hidden test suite, and a reference solution. Every submission is validated automatically before it's approved, so the ideal candidate is someone who can write a problem a strong engineer would recognize as real work, and a test suite that verifies a solution the way a careful reviewer would.
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.
