Software Developer
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 create Reinforcement Learning Environments that test an AI model's ability to solve practical software engineering problems involving bug fixes, feature development, and clean, working solutions. You will also create reproducible environments and golden reference solutions for each problem.
