We’re growing and expanding our products every day. If you’re up to the challenge and are excited about AI and ML as much as we are, join us!

The role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with strong C++ expertise to join the team building and operating Nebius Data Platform — a distributed storage and a processing platform that acts as the company’s “source of truth” and the backbone of many internal (and some external) products.

Nebius Data Platform is a single multi-tenant ecosystem based on YTsaurus — instead of running separate HDFS/Kafka/HBase-style systems, we provide storage, compute, and analytics capabilities inside one platform.

Built on top of the open-source YTsaurus ecosystem, we run and extend our own Nebius distribution and develop significant in-house functionality (core and platform-level). We can design, implement, and roll out features end-to-end on our clusters without waiting for upstream approvals and contribute upstream when it makes sense.

At scale today, this includes~500 servers, ~20k CPU cores and ~10 PB of compressed data in our largest production cluster, supporting workloads ranging from business-critical pipelines and financial transactions to large-scale ML/LLM training datasets and compute.

What’s inside the platform

You’ll work on a system that includes (and ties together):

• Distributed Storage (Cypress): transactional semantics, tiered storage, erasure coding, replication, and strong reliability expectations.
• Compute & ETL: a cluster-wide job scheduler (tens of thousands of cores), MapReduce, YQL for SQL-like data processing, and SPYT (Spark over YTsaurus) for modern data engineering.
• Interactive analytics (CHYT): ClickHouse® instances spun up directly on compute nodes for fast SQL over data in-place.
• Dynamic Tables: low-latency NoSQL KV with distributed ACID transactions for OLTP-style workloads and feature stores.
• Orchestracto: workflow orchestration deeply integrated with the platform (Airflow-like, but platform-native).

What you’ll do

We’re looking for engineers who combine strong systems skills with product sense: understanding who uses the platform, why certain capabilities matter, and making pragmatic trade-offs to maximize impact. On our team, engineering work is expected to be connected to real users and outcomes — you’ll regularly align with internal stakeholders, clarify requirements, and help drive prioritization.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement new functionality in YTsaurus core (C++) with production reliability in mind.
• Build and evolve platform-level capabilities: platform architecture and operating model—multi-cluster growth, shared primitives, and a consistent experience that scales with new teams and use cases.
• Improve end-to-end platform experience for internal (and external-facing) users: APIs, guardrails, debugging workflows, and automation.
• Own production quality: incident response / on-call rotation, root cause analysis, and turning learnings into durable fixes.

Example projects

• Roll out sharded YTsaurus masters (incl. Kubernetes operator support) and build automatic balancing of metadata across master cells (consensus groups) to remove control-plane bottlenecks and unlock 10–100x cluster growth.
• Make CHYT interactive SQL faster and more predictable at high load via performance work like data-skipping / min-max-style indexes and improved execution introspection.
• Turn Orchestracto into a platform product by defining the building blocks, developer experience, and governance for how teams create and share workflows.
• Scale and harden Parquet-on-S3 for native YTsaurus workloads by tackling replication/movement, consistent lifecycle semantics, and master-server metadata optimizations for performance and reliability.
• Design and ship complete, trustworthy audit trails for data changes (who/what/when) across heterogeneous storage and compute paths.

Tech stack

• Core: modern C++ (C++20, async + multithreaded primitives)
• Services & tooling: Go and Python (microservices, utilities, integration tests)

What we expect

• 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Strong C++ skills (you’ll write core code).
• Working knowledge of Python and/or Go (you don’t have to be expert, but should be comfortable navigating them).
• Experience developing and/or operating high-load, distributed services.
• Production mindset: ability to use SSH, read logs/metrics/traces, and debug distributed systems behavior.
• Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency basics.

Nice to have

• Experience with Big Data systems (YTsaurus/Hadoop/Spark/ClickHouse/Kafka-like ecosystems).
• Experience with multi-tenant platforms, schedulers, resource isolation, quotas, and reliability engineering.
• Strong performance engineering skills (profiling, lock contention, latency/throughput tradeoffs).

We conduct coding interviews as part of the process.

• Working closely with product, engineering, and ML teams — discussing, revisiting, and improving solutions based on feedback and shared understanding.
• Clearly present design solutions and rationale to cross-functional teams
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of the design system, ensuring consistency and quality across the product  

We expect you to have: 

• 5+ years of experience in product teams (SaaS / B2B / DevTools experience is a strong plus). Strong product thinking and the ability to turn complex processes into clear and transparent user journeys.
• Experience working on technically complex products where understanding system logic and processes matters as much as UI. Ability to balance usability, consistency, and innovation in complex systems.

Become a Senior SRE for Bloomreach!

Join the newly form Datacraft team — the team building the next-generation data platform for Bloomreach Engagement. Datacraft owns three interconnected domains:

• Data Warehouses (~60%) — making Bloomreach data first-class in customer DWHs (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks). The strategic goal for 2026–27 is to use DWHs to exponentially accelerate data adoption.
• Loomi Analytics Agent (~20%) — evolving Loomi Analytics into an agentic analytics assistant that can explore data across systems, explain insights, and act on them.
• Dashboards & Analytics Stack (~20%) — moving Engagement reporting onto DWH-backed, modern analytics stacks (semantic layers, headless BI tools).

As a Senior SRE, you will be the reliability backbone of this AI-first data team. Your work will directly impact the deployments, pipelines, reliability, and observability of pipelines and services that hundreds of enterprise customers depend on — from data exports into Databricks and BigQuery, to the  AI agent Loomi uses to surface insights.

Datacraft is an AI-first team. We believe code is a commodity and expect every engineer to fluently use coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini CLI) as a core part of their daily workflow. The ability to leverage AI tooling to accelerate development, prototyping, and problem-solving is not optional — it's foundational. Working in one of our Central European offices (Bratislava, Praha, Brno) or from home on a full-time basis, you'll become a core part of the Engineering team.

What challenge awaits you?

As a P3 (Senior) SRE at Bloomreach, you are an independent professional — expert in reliability engineering, able to decompose objectives into actionable infrastructure improvements, and lead initiatives end-to-end with minimal day-to-day guidance.

We need you to build and operate an ecosystem where data engineers can safely and efficiently develop, debug, and operate data-intensive jobs and services — spanning Kafka ingest pipelines, Iceberg data lakes, multi-DWH exports, Databricks deployment and orchestration (Airflow / Cloud Composer), and agentic AI workloads.

Your responsibilities

a. Platform reliability & observability

• Build and maintain the reliability ecosystem where engineers can safely develop, debug, and operate DataCraft services running on GCP and Kubernetes (DataProc, Cloud Composer, BigQuery, Snowflake/Databricks connectors).
• Ensure end-to-end observability across the full data platform — from Kafka ingest through GCS/Iceberg staging, Airflow orchestration, to Databricks and BigQuery destinations — enabling the team to catch missing loads, SLA breaches, and data drifts before customers notice, or costs drift.
• Drive scalability so services can scale vertically and horizontally based on operational and telemetric data (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Victoria Metrics).
• Maintain team health dashboards and alerting (Grafana, PagerDuty, Sentry).

b. Infrastructure as Code & deployments

• Own and evolve Terraform-based infrastructure for DataCraft services.
• Automate deployments, instance setup, and operational runbooks to eliminate manual/semi-manual steps.
• Maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) with linters, security scans, and code quality checks, AI code reviews, enabling engineers to produce high-quality MRs.

c. Security & compliance

• Help the team fulfill security requirements for ISO and SOC2 audits by enforcing security principles: key distribution, key rotation, authorization & authentication at the service level, data encryption in transit, data isolation, resource limitations, and audit logs.
• Ensure data access controls are properly enforced across multi-DWH environments (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks).

d. Incident management & L3 support

• Participate in and drive L3 on-call rotation and incident resolution for DataCraft services.
• Contribute tooling for debugging, troubleshooting, and performance testing of data pipelines and orchestration layers.
• Use telemetry data and distributed tracing to navigate complex, distributed service architectures.

e. Agentic platform reliability

• Ensure reliability and observability of the Loomi Analytics Agent data infrastructure — LLM API gateway performance, MCP server health, and evaluation pipeline availability.
• Monitor and alert on data quality issues that could introduce inconsistencies or hallucinations in Loomi's responses — making the agent's data access patterns reliable and debuggable.

About the role:

8am is hiring a Software Development Engineer in Test to embed within our SaaS Platform team, the group that owns customer identity, authentication, provisioning, roles and permissions, risk profiling, and the APIs every other 8am product consumes. You will own the test automation strategy for that team and partner with engineers from requirements through release.

We do not embed SDETs everywhere. We place them where the rate of change and blast radius warrant it. SaaS Platform is one of those places. QE owns test strategy, risk assessment, and quality gates; SDETs own the automation that makes those gates enforceable. Your focus is end-to-end flow coverage of the critical user journeys that exercise the platform in production, plus contract coverage of the APIs downstream products depend on. We do not chase atomic line coverage at the E2E layer. Your work directly supports our Defect Leakage Rate target of under 15%.

This role is hired through an Employer of Record (EOR) partner in the Czech Republic.

About us:

8am builds software that helps professionals run stronger businesses. Our platform powers payments, client experience, and operational workflows for legal, accounting, and other service-based businesses.

• Build and maintain automation in Python with Playwright for UI flows and PyTest for API and contract coverage, contributing back to our internal framework when you find gaps.
• Integrate tests into CircleCI and our tiered quality gates (PR smoke, nightly, pre-release regression) so gates are enforceable, fast, and trustworthy. Flaky tests are a defect; treat them like one.
• Validate authentication, provisioning, and role/permission flows, and the OpenAPI contracts that downstream products depend on across MyCase, DocketWise, CASEPeer, and LawPay.
• Partner with the Quality Engineers on your squad/across the organization: they surface the risk and coverage signals; you close them with automation.
• Use AI tooling where it accelerates real outcomes: test plan generation, code review, automation scaffolding, and coverage gap analysis through our Qase MCP integration. 

About you:

• 6+ years in software development or test automation, with demonstrated experience designing E2E automation around critical flows rather than chasing coverage targets. Familiarity with risk-based testing and the test pyramid as working concepts, not buzzwords.
• Advanced to expert in Python and PyTest, with deep experience across both front-end (Playwright) and API test automation.
• Hands-on experience testing authentication, provisioning, and role/permission systems, including OAuth, SAML, and SSO. Comfortable with API contract testing and OpenAPI specification development and validation.
• Advanced SQL for complex test data setup and validation. Strong Linux fundamentals and working knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, and TLS for debugging auth and API failures from packet captures or dev tools.
• Working proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI preferred).
• Hands-on fluency with AI-assisted development and testing tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or comparable), including prompt design that produces reliable output and the judgment to know when to throw AI output away.
• Past experience standing up a test automation framework from scratch, plus exposure to Quality KPIs, QaaS initiatives, and PCI compliance in payments or identity systems.
• Experience with test case management (Qase or TestRail), defect tracking in Jira, and mentoring SDETs to automation proficiency.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to improve workflows, enhance decision-making, or drive innovation.
• This position is preferably based in Brno, Czech Republic

Why join our new 8am Brno hub?

• Founding Team Impact: Be a founding engineer of our new Brno R&D hub. After a brief 1-6 month integration with U.S. based teams, you will help form fully autonomous, locally-led squads with clear paths to Staff and leadership roles
• Drive our "AI-First" Transformation: We are building a secure, massive-scale "Unified AI Platform". Depending on your squad, you will either help architect this core infrastructure (LLM routing, RAG, agent orchestration) or build directly on top of it.
• Build the Next Generation of Our Platform: Help shape the systems powering products used by more than 250,000 professionals. You’ll work on complex platform capabilities across payments, workflow automation, and AI-powered features as we expand into new professional service markets.

Software engineers and AI agents alike suffer from the same problem: finding that one person or place that will answer their tough, specific question. Many solutions promise to solve this with similarity search in vector databases. Unfortunately, finding the answer is often a puzzle with pieces to be collected across a myriad of contradictory sources and cannot be solved without surgical search and careful reasoning.

Spectrum collects data from an organization's code, docs, and issues, and organizes knowledge in a unified ontology that AI agents can efficiently search through and reason over. We aim to revolutionize the semantic layer space for software-building organizations and move beyond specs that fall out of sync with code, introducing a living spec – one that's extracted from the whole system and used to keep it aligned. Spectrum is meant to be the single source of truth for all product and architectural knowledge.

A resident of JetBrains' startup incubator, Spectrum enjoys startup speed and autonomy, and is backed by 25 years of developer tooling expertise. We are looking for a Senior ML Researcher to develop the core methods that make Spectrum possible – novel approaches to temporal ontology extraction, contradiction detection, and semantic alignment across heterogeneous software artifacts.

• Collaborating with JetBrains Research and external academic advisors to shape our research agenda.
• Publishing research findings at top venues and representing Spectrum in the research community.

We expect you to have:

• A PhD (or equivalent research experience) in NLP, knowledge graphs, ontology learning, information extraction, or a closely related field.
• A strong publication record in at least one of the following areas: knowledge graph construction, ontology learning, information extraction, or NLP.
• Experience applying LLMs to structured knowledge extraction tasks.
• Experience designing and running rigorous experiments, including hypothesis formulation, ablation studies, and statistical evaluation.
• Strong Python and PyTorch skills, with the ability to implement research ideas from scratch.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Proficiency in English, both written and verbal.

Our ideal candidate would also have:

Reporting to Collibra’s Senior Manager of AI Engineering, measures of success are

• Within your first month, you will familiarize yourself with the existing data platform and data products by diving into the architecture, existing products, and the Collibra platform ecosystem
• Within your third month, you will start to deliver new AI/ML features into our SaaS platform
• Within your sixth month, you will operationalize AI products into production environments and contribute to our AI roadmap

We’re building a new product from scratch - focused on pragmatic, production-ready LLM-based agents.
The research and architecture phase is happening. Now we need engineers who will help turn those decisions into a real, scalable system.
This is not about blindly playing with prompts.
This is about building backend services, APIs, evaluation pipelines, and infrastructure that make agentic systems reliable in production.
We’re tackling a real-world problem with a clear path to market, backed by SafeQ Cloud - and you’ll also help shape and improve the in-house tools that power the product.

You won’t just get tickets — you’ll be part of discussions, refinements, and decisions.

If you’d like to work remotely, no problem. We’re used to hybrid collaboration based on team agreement.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Things to be fresh. We’re building new AI products just now - and you can be part of the journey from start to finish. You’ll work across a wide range of AI disciplines, from text processing through image analysis to process automation
• No coding monkeys. We build solutions, not just follow specs.
• Work from idea to delivery.
• A manager-less structure. No hierarchy, everyone has a say.
• A team that decides. Hiring, promotions, direction - all in the team.
• No bulls**t KPIs.
• Learning and knowledge sharing is part of the job.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU:

• TypeScript (Node.js)
• Ideally React (or willingness to learn)
• Experience with building real applications (not just tutorials)
• Attention to quality (code reviews, testing, best practices)
• Ability to work across backend and frontend
• Be open-minded
• Come up with improvements and realize them
• Share your knowledge with others
• Readiness to learn new things

NICE TO HAVE:

• DevOps / SRE basics
• QA mindset
• Security awareness
• UX / product sensitivity
• Interest in AI / LLMs (not required, but we’ll expose you to it)

About the role:

We're hiring a Manager II of Quality Engineering to lead a team of QEs embedded across our Agile squads. You'll report to the Senior Director of Quality Engineering and partner with peers across QE management. You own the team's careers, practice, QE tooling, and the standards they bring into their squads. Their squad's Engineering Manager coordinates their day-to-day squad work as a cross-functional peer.

Your team is distributed across multiple geographies and employment models. You're accountable for quality outcomes against a concrete target: 15% aggregate Defect Leakage Rate (DLR) for severity 0–3, with severity 0–1 held below 1%.

Depending on which squads your QEs sit in, your scope may include our payments stack, which relies on event-driven architectures along with first- and third-party APIs. Our Tooling and Automation Manager owns the SDET function and automation strategy; you and your team provide the risk and coverage signal that shapes where automation and AI tooling investment goes.

About us:

At 8am, our vision is to power a world where professionals thrive. We start every day on a mission to empower professionals with the most trusted, innovative technology to deliver world-class outcomes for their clients and exceptional financial results for their business. They count on our purpose-built solutions to simplify operations, ensure compliance, and fuel profitable growth, so they can focus on their clients and do more of the work that matters.

Founded in 2005, 8am™ (formerly AffiniPay) is the professional business platform built to help legal, accounting, and other client-focused professionals run stronger, more profitable businesses. Today, more than 250,000 professionals across the U.S. trust 8am to help them work smarter, serve clients better, and unlock their full potential. We have been recognized as one of Inc 5000’s fastest growing companies in the U.S. for 13 years in a row, and as a result, our teams continue to grow as well!

What you'll do:

• Lead a team of QEs embedded in Agile squads: hiring, coaching, performance management, and growing your ICs along our QE career ladder.
• Manage QE resource allocation across squads: rebalancing coverage as priorities shift, covering for leave or open headcount, and surfacing tradeoffs to Engineering and Product when demand exceeds capacity.
• Own the QE practice across the squads your QEs work in, enforce release readiness standards through our quality gates, and keep Qase traceability coherent.
• Review test plans authored by your team and raise the bar on coverage, clarity, and maintainability.
• Partner with peer QE managers, the Tooling and Automation team, Data Engineering, and Product to identify critical automation paths and build them into the quality gates, balancing the flows customers actually use with the flows we want customers adopting.
• Pull in our nonfunctional QE specialists (Data, Security, Performance) where their expertise sharpens coverage for the squads your QEs are in.
• Partner with Customer Support and Customer Success to bring customer signal into QE, positioning your team as customer advocates who catch failure modes before they become widespread.
• Own post-release quality: driving QE response and root cause analysis when escapes happen, and feeding those learnings back into gates, test coverage, and process.
• Enforce existing QE processes and drive continuous improvement. Contribute to Themis, our Python/PyTest/Playwright-based automation framework that implements our quality gates.

About you:

• 3+ years managing a quality-focused engineering team, with a track record of driving defect leakage or equivalent quality metrics down and sustaining them as the codebase and team grow. You understand the QE mindset: defining what good looks like, owning quality outcomes at the squad level, and partnering with Tooling and Automation to keep automation reliable and well-maintained, with zero tolerance for flakey tests.
• Strong judgment under ambiguity and proactive communication in all directions. You surface risks and quality signals early, with context and a proposed path, to your team, to Engineering Managers, to Product, and to leadership. You can present quality metrics and trade-offs clearly to senior leadership and represent the Quality Engineering team's position in cross-functional debates.
• An active view of AI in QE. We're continuously evaluating and adopting AI to accelerate QE work. You bring rigor to how AI gets used, ensure your team reviews AI output before it ships, and help them get more value from the tools over time.
• Technical breadth and depth in both QE practice and the products you'll cover. Broad enough to engage credibly with engineering peers across multiple products and verticals on test strategy, critical automation paths, and tooling decisions, and deep enough to mentor your ICs on their actual work: test design, debugging a flaky suite, decomposing a complex feature for coverage, reviewing automation critically.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to improve workflows, enhance decision-making, or drive innovation.

About the role:

At 8am, quality is not a phase—it’s a mindset woven into every conversation, decision, and line of code.  We are looking for a Performance Quality Engineer to own performance observability, define meaningful metrics, and drive data-informed decisions about system behavior under load.

You will report to the Senior Director of Quality Engineering and maintain a dotted-line relationship with the Sr. Director of Platform Engineering.

This role is hired through an Employer of Record (EOR) partner in the Czech Republic.

About us:

At 8am, our vision is to power a world where professionals thrive. We start every day on a mission to empower professionals with the most trusted, innovative technology to deliver world-class outcomes for their clients and exceptional financial results for their business. They count on our purpose-built solutions to simplify operations, ensure compliance, and fuel profitable growth, so they can focus on their clients and do more of the work that matters.

We have been recognized as one of Inc 5000’s fastest growing companies in the U.S. for 13 years in a row, and as a result, our teams continue to grow as well!

What you'll do:

• Design and create performance test suites for multiple product teams against a microservices-based SaaS platform running on AWS.
• Operate and help maintain production-like environments for performance analysis, diagnosis, and regression testing.

• Collaborate with Platform Engineering, DevX, SDET, and Product teams to prioritize and validate performance improvements.
• Partner with Security QE on the overlap between performance and security risk. Load and stress tests reveal how systems degrade under pressure, which is exactly what attackers exploit via DoS and resource-exhaustion vectors. This role will collaborate with Security QE to integrate security-informed scenarios (authentication storms, TLS renegotiation abuse, API rate-limit validation) into performance test plans, and surface high-resource-cost endpoints to security for assessment.
• Identify and define nonfunctional performance tests for CI/CD pipeline gates (Integration, Regression, Post-Deployment). Work with DevX and Platform Engineering to establish pass/fail thresholds that catch regressions before production.
• Contribute to performance engineering standards, runbooks, and best practices within the QE organization.

About you:

• 3+ years of hands-on performance testing and analysis on microservices-based, cloud-hosted (AWS) SaaS platforms.
• Strong analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to move from symptoms to root cause.
• Background in statistical analysis: trend modeling, interpolation, extrapolation, and capacity forecasting.
• Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS/EKS), Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Experience with performance testing tools (k6, Gatling, Locust, JMeter, or equivalent).
• Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and log aggregation (ELK Stack, CloudWatch).
• Scripting proficiency in Python or comparable language for test scenarios, data analysis, and light tooling. Coding experience is a plus, but this role prioritizes performance engineering skill over software development depth.
• Comfortable working asynchronously across multiple time zones in a remote-first team.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); Czech language skills are a plus but not required.

Nice to Have: 

• Experience integrating performance tests into CI/CD pipelines as automated quality gates.
• Familiarity with APM tools and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, X-Ray).
• Experience building performance dashboards and automated regression alerting.
• Exposure to security-adjacent performance concerns (DDoS resilience, rate-limit validation, resource-exhaustion analysis).
• Exposure to chaos engineering or resilience testing practices.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum or Kanban delivery frameworks.

#LI-MR1

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we've been striving to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. Today, AI-powered coding agents are becoming a core part of how developers write Kotlin – and we want to make sure they write it well.

The Kotlin AI Value Stream team is responsible for how AI agents understand, generate, and improve Kotlin code across all platforms: Android, Kotlin Multiplatform, server-side, web, desktop, and others. We build the evaluation infrastructure, error analysis tools, and post-training pipelines that measure and improve agent behavior on real Kotlin developer tasks.

As a Research Engineer on this team, you'll own the end-to-end loop: Analyze how agents fail on Kotlin → build evals that capture those failures → research and implement methods to fix them → measure the improvement. Your work will directly shape how millions of developers experience Kotlin through AI coding agents.

As part of our team, you will:

Build tools for agentic error analysis

• Design and implement tooling to systematically capture, classify, and analyse errors that AI coding agents make when generating Kotlin code.
• Build observability pipelines over agentic traces – mining patterns from agent sessions in JetBrains IDEs, Junie, Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents.

Build evaluation pipelines

• Design, implement, and maintain evaluation pipelines that measure Kotlin code generation quality across dimensions, including correctness, idiomaticity, build success, framework usage, and test coverage.
• Build simulation environments where coding agents can be measured on realistic Kotlin developer tasks – from greenfield KMP projects and Gradle dependency management to migrating Spring applications from Java to Kotlin.
• Own evaluation infrastructure: metrics, experiment tracking, automated regression checks, and reproducible benchmarking.

Research methods for improving agent and model behavior on Kotlin

• Experiment with post-training techniques (SFT, DPO, GRPO) to improve how models handle Kotlin-specific patterns, idioms, and frameworks.
• Investigate context engineering approaches: CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md files, compiler-as-verifier feedback loops, Kotlin LSP integration, and MCP-based tooling.
• Run experiments to measure impact: A/B comparisons, benchmark suites, and before/after analyses on real codebases.
• Collaborate with model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google) to translate Kotlin-specific findings into model improvements.

Build public Kotlin benchmarks

• Design and build open-source benchmarks that measure AI coding agent performance on Kotlin tasks and eventually become the standard reference for the ecosystem.
• Create task datasets covering the breadth of Kotlin usage: the server side (Spring, Ktor), multiplatform projects (KMP), build systems (Gradle), Android, library development, and others.
• Include both mined real-world tasks and carefully designed synthetic tasks that test specific Kotlin capabilities.
• Maintain and evolve benchmarks as models improve, ensuring they remain challenging, relevant, and contamination-resistant.

We'll be happy to have you on board if you have:

• Hands-on experience building evaluation or analysis pipelines for LLMs or AI coding agents in a research or production setting.
• Strong Python engineering skills (at least three years), with the ability to write clean, maintainable code in data-heavy and ML-adjacent codebases.
• Experience with data analysis at scale: querying large datasets (SQL/Athena), building data pipelines, and performing statistical analysis of experimental results.
• The ability to own projects end to end – from identifying a problem in agent traces to designing an eval, running experiments, and shipping a fix.
• A product-aware mindset: You care about how agents are actually used by developers and can translate real failure modes into evaluation and training work.
• Familiarity with Kotlin or a strong willingness to develop deep Kotlin expertise (you'll be living in Kotlin codebases daily).

Our ideal candidate would also have experience with:

• Post-training LLMs: SFT, RLHF, DPO, GRPO – either hands-on training or designing the data and reward pipelines that feed into training.
• Modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch) and LLM training stacks (TRL, verl, Megatron, or similar).
• AI agent development: tool-using agents, multi-step coding workflows, agentic frameworks.
• Evaluation frameworks and tools: Inspect AI, Promptfoo, LM-evaluation-harness, or custom eval pipelines.
• Experiment tracking and observability: Weights & Biases, MLflow, Langfuse, or similar.
• The Kotlin ecosystem: Android, Gradle, KMP, Spring, Ktor – with an understanding of the developer workflows that agents need to support.
• Contributing to or maintaining open-source projects, especially benchmarks or evaluation tools.

Don't check every box? That's okay – if you're excited about this work and bring strong fundamentals, we'd love to hear from you. We're happy to talk and provide the training you need to grow into the role.
