About poolside
In this decade, the world will create artificial intelligence that reaches human level intelligence (and beyond) by combining learning and search. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this.
poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress.
We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best.
At poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on building for a developer-led increasingly AI-assisted world. We believe that current capabilities of AI lead to incredible tooling that can assist developers in their day to day work. We also believe that as we increase the capabilities of our models, we increasingly empower anyone in the world to be able to build software. We envision a future where not 100 million people can build software but 2 billion people can.
About our team
We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year.
Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development. We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts.
About the role
You will play a key role in shaping the future of AI-driven coding solutions. This role goes far beyond data annotation — your expertise in software engineering will directly contribute to developing, refining, and improving our large language models (LLMs) for software development.
You'll work alongside researchers and engineers to design and write high-quality software development tasks and their solutions. You'll be responsible for evaluating and improving AI-generated reasoning and code for software development oriented tasks. You'll have access to the world's largest code execution environment where you'll be able to get incredibly fast feedback on your work.
Your mission
To improve our AI models by expertly creating, annotating and refining software developments tasks and solutions.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the engineering team to curate and select code samples for model training, evaluation, and continuous improvement
- Provide expert solutions and corrections in programming languages such as Python, Rust, JavaScript, C/C++, Java, and Go
- Review and enhance AI-generated code to ensure it adheres to industry best practices for performance, security, scalability, and readability
- Review and enhance AI-generated reasoning for software development tasks
- Contribute to the development of tools and processes that improve the efficiency and quality of AI training data collection and generation
- Develop clear, comprehensive documentation to explain advanced coding methodologies and AI-generated coding approaches
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure AI-powered coding solutions meet enterprise-grade performance and reliability metrics
Skills & Experience
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Rust, JavaScript, C/C++, Java, or Go) and a strong grasp of software development principles
- A minimum of 2+ years of professional software development experience
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes), databases (SQL, NoSQL), and distributed systems (Spark, Kafka, gRPC) is highly desirable
- Familiarity with shell scripting, including tools like bash or zsh, and experience managing environment variables
- Experience working with large-scale systems, databases, or AI/ML pipelines is a plus
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
