We are building a rigorous verifiable evaluation suite of Terminal-Bench tasks designed to test the limits of large language models on multilingual software challenges. Our goal is to measure multilingual robustness across prompt language effects non-English data processing and complex locale/encoding edge cases in terminal workflows.
We are seeking experienced native-speaking software engineers to design build and validate these benchmarks. You will create high-signal high-quality tasks that genuinely test a models ability to handle multilingual environments without relying on English translation crutches.
Note this is a remote freelance opportunity
Target Languages: Spanish German Czech Turkish Arabic (Egyptian) Korean Japanese Hausa Hindi Marathi.
Key Responsibilities
- Task Engineering: Evaluating Coding Agents.
- Asset Creation: Build realistic task environments using datasets and files in your native language. Crucially these assets must remain in the target language to genuinely measure multilingual handling.
- Prompting & Translation: finding failure points where AI does not work in your native language
- Implementation & Verification: Support the development of robust solutions (reference implementations) and write highly reliable deterministic verifier scripts (using rubric-based judging only when strictly necessary).
- Calibration & Execution: Analyze execution logs and calibrate task difficulty (Easy to Very Hard) using standard Terminal-Bench run configurations against various model tiers (Haiku Sonnet Opus).
- Quality Assurance: Participate in a rigorous 4-layer human quality control process (creation human review calibration review and audit) alongside automated LLM-based checks to ensure fairness grammatical accuracy and benchmark integrity.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5 years of industry experience in software engineering.
- Background: Proven track record at leading technology companies and/or graduation from top-tier engineering universities.
- Language: Native or near-native fluency with a deep understanding of its grammar register and phrasing rules. High English proficiency.
- Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in Python standard shell scripting and data processing.
- Workflow: Extensive experience with Terminal/CLI-based development workflows and a working familiarity with coding agents.
- Domain Expertise: Deep technical understanding of multilingual text processing pitfalls including:
- Encoding/decoding robustness and Unicode normalization.
- Locale-dependent conventions (collation casing non-Gregorian dates).
- Text I/O toolchain interoperability and safe string operations.
- (For specific languages) Bidirectional/RTL handling font fallbacks and rendering/typography in UI or artifacts.
