Oak Tree Software is seeking experienced Software Engineers to evaluate, benchmark, and improve the coding capabilities of frontier AI models. In this role, you will assess AI-generated code, validate solutions against real-world software engineering tasks, and contribute to the development of high-quality evaluation datasets and benchmarks.
Responsibilities:
- Review and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, efficiency, maintainability, and adherence to requirements
- Analyze software engineering tasks and validate whether proposed solutions meet expected outcomes
- Debug code, reproduce issues, and verify fixes across different programming environments
- Assess model-generated explanations, reasoning, and implementation approaches for technical accuracy
- Create, refine, and maintain evaluation datasets, benchmarks, and grading rubrics for coding tasks
- Identify edge cases, failure modes, and areas where AI systems struggle with software engineering problems
- Document findings clearly and provide structured feedback to improve evaluation quality and consistency
- Collaborate with project teams to establish quality standards and evaluation methodologies
Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in one or more of the following languages: Python, Java, C/C++, Go, Swift, Objective-C, PHP, or SQL
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, software design principles, and debugging methodologies
- Experience performing code reviews and evaluating code quality in production or large-scale codebases
- Ability to analyze complex technical problems and assess solution correctness with minimal supervision
- Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and modern software development workflows
- Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
- Experience with AI/ML data annotation, NLP, prompt engineering, model evaluation, or LLM-related projects
- Experience evaluating AI-generated code, benchmark creation, or software quality assessment
