Senior Software Engineer – Ruby (LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation)
Overview
The project builds LLM evaluation datasets and verifiable software engineering tasks drawn from public repository histories. Ruby engineers at tech-lead level will triage GitHub issues, set up repositories with Docker, and run codebases locally to score model performance. The day-to-day includes test coverage review, environment automation, and collaboration with researchers to pick challenging bug-fixing problems. The role also offers the chance to lead a small team of junior engineers while working on advanced AI projects.
What You'll Do6
- 1Examine and categorize incoming issues in popular open-source repositories to identify tasks suitable for LLM evaluation.
- 2Prepare and configure codebases, including containerizing projects with Docker and establishing local environments.
- 3Assess the depth and reliability of unit tests within each repository.
- 4Run and alter local codebases to measure how well LLMs fix real bugs.
- 5Work with researchers to pinpoint repositories and issues that pose a meaningful challenge for LLMs.
- 6Oversee and coordinate a group of junior engineers on collaborative project tasks.
Requirements8
- 1At least 3 years of overall software engineering experience.
- 2Strong working knowledge of Ruby.
- 3Practical skill with Git, Docker, and standard software pipeline configuration.
- 4Ability to understand and navigate complex codebases.
- 5Comfort running, modifying, and testing real-world projects locally.
- 6Experience contributing to or evaluating open-source projects.
- 7Previous involvement in LLM research or evaluation projects.
- 8Experience building or testing developer tools or automation agents.
Who Should Apply
An ideal candidate is a senior Ruby engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience and a habit of exploring high-quality open-source repositories. This person is comfortable setting up Dockerized environments, running unfamiliar codebases locally, and assessing test coverage. The role suits engineers who enjoy repo-level detective work and LLM benchmarking over feature building. Developers who prefer product-facing tasks or rarely touch open-source code will find this role a poor fit. Common reasons candidates get rejected include weak Ruby depth beyond syntax, no practical Git/Docker pipeline skills, and an inability to commit to the required 4-hour PST overlap.
