You’ll contribute to the development and evaluation of AI systems that:
- Execute multi-step reasoning and workflows
- Coordinate complex automated tasks
- Integrate with real-world tools and APIs
- Operate in structured, production-like environments
- Generate and refine high-quality system outputs
Your work directly supports the training and optimisation of advanced AI agents used in real-world applications.
What you’ll do
- Build and evaluate modular backend and agent systems
- Support integration of LLMs with APIs, databases, and external tools
- Analyse system behaviour and provide structured technical feedback
- Improve reliability, orchestration, and workflow performance
- Identify edge cases, failures, and system vulnerabilities
- Work with multi-step, production-style AI environments
What we’re looking for
- 2 years of experience in:
- Backend engineering
- AI automation
- Systems integration
- Strong proficiency in at least two languages (Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, etc.)
- Experience with SQL databases and modular system design
- Comfortable working in live, non-mocked environments
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
Nice to have
- Experience building multi-stage or agent-based workflows
- API integrations (e.g. Supabase, Gmail, external services)
- Familiarity with persistent state/session tracking systems
- Exposure to LLM tooling, orchestration, or AI agent frameworks
- Understanding of security risks such as prompt injection or privilege escalation
Why this opportunity
- Fully remote, flexible project-based contract work
- Hourly engagements with competitive compensation
- Work on frontier AI and autonomous agent systems
- Opportunity for ongoing technical projects based on performance
- High-impact work shaping next-generation LLM capabilities
