Job Title: Software Developer

Job Type: Contract

Location: Remote

micro1 is selecting skilled Software Developers to support a customer's innovative project. In this role, you'll apply your coding expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your development skills are what matter.

As an expert, you will be creating Reinforcement Learning Environments which test an AI model's ability to solve practical software problems related to fixing code, building small features, and writing clean, working solutions. You will be tasked with creating a reproducible environment and a golden reference solution for the problem.

Scope of Work

1. Contribute clear code samples, debugging approaches, and development insights in Python3, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript.
2. Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve common software bugs and logic errors across different codebases.
3. Build small to medium features, following good coding practices and keeping solutions easy to understand.
4. Clean up and improve existing code to make it more readable and reliable.
5. Document your reasoning, approach, and code decisions to support AI training data quality.
6. Review peer-contributed code and technical submissions for correctness and clarity.

Preferred Qualifications

1. 1+ years of hands-on experience in at least one of the following: Python3, Java, Rust, Go, C++, or TypeScript.
2. Solid understanding of core algorithms, data structures, and everyday software engineering practices.
