Member of Technical Staff, Coding Agents
Handshake, San Francisco, CA +3
The role
We are hiring a Member of Technical Staff to help define how frontier coding agents are benchmarked and improved. This is a broad, high-ownership role for researchers who build.
You will partner with the world’s top AI researchers and thousands of software engineers to develop new benchmarks, reward and verifier systems, agent-evaluation methodologies, and data-quality techniques, centered around applications of AI for Coding. You will work on questions at the center of frontier AI progress: what should be measured, how to design evaluations that reflect real capability, how to create high-signal feedback, and how to build the environments and data systems that make those answers actionable.
Early members of the team will have unusual influence over our technical direction, operating culture, and the open-source software, benchmarks, and research products we build. We care more about demonstrated research capability, technical judgment, and a builder's mindset than a specific title, degree, or career path.
Location: San Francisco preferred; we are open to exceptional candidates in other locations.
