About Mechanize
Mechanize builds reinforcement learning environments that frontier AI labs use to train and evaluate their coding models. Learn more at mechanize.work.
Why the work matters
AI models have gotten good at narrow coding tasks but still fail at the complex, judgment-heavy parts of software engineering. We build the environments that expose those failures and help models improve.
What you'll do
You'll design, build, and refine RL tasks. Each task is a self-contained software engineering challenge with a prompt, an environment, and an automated grader. You own the full lifecycle: coming up with the idea, implementing the grading infrastructure, running frontier models against the task, analyzing where and why they fail, and iterating until the task is rigorous and fair.
Coming up with good task ideas requires being clever: finding situations where a frontier model will fail in interesting ways, which means seeing gaps that the model itself doesn't see. You will use coding agents heavily, and a large part of the job is directing them well, evaluating their output, and knowing when they are failing in subtle ways.
What makes someone good at this
Strong technical fundamentals combined with an intuition for AI model behavior. You need to anticipate where a model will take shortcuts, distinguish genuine capability gaps from grader issues, and understand how a model will interpret a prompt. Most engineers significantly underestimate what frontier coding agents can already do; candidates who have spent significant time working with them will have a real head start.
Good fit if you:
Have just graduated or are about to graduate
Can code in Python
Are confident working independently
Are motivated by problems that require both technical skill and creative cleverness
No prior ML or AI experience required
We're happy to hire candidates who are very capable, even if they have no prior professional software experience.
Probably not a good fit if you:
Want a product engineering role building features for end users
Prefer a highly collaborative team environment with shared ownership
Want extensive structured mentorship
This is independent, high-ownership work. You own your tasks from start to finish, with regular check-ins and feedback. Strong performers are recognized and promoted quickly. Benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance. Applying takes less than one minute.
