Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates combine solid kotlin craftsmanship with hands-on Android or backend experience and a track record using llms to assist development tasks. This role suits those who can produce clear technical explanations in English and contribute to AI training data. It may be less suitable for applicants lacking remote, hourly contracting experience or without practical experience in Kotlin, coroutines, or model evaluation. If you have not demonstrated open-source contributions or strong problem-solving in practice, your fit may be limited. Strong written communication and the ability to work independently in a distributed team are essential.
