Research Engineer

Hello,

I hope you''re doing well.

I''m Abhay from Inceptra Solutions LLC. I came across your profile and wanted to reach out regarding a high-priority requirement for 

Role: Research Engineer / AI Researcher 

Location: Remote within USA

Project Overview & Context

• Project Name: RE-Bench
• Product Area & Org: Google DeepMind
• Objective: Develop a new version of the RE-Bench evaluation benchmark (used for hillclimbing by Code Strike and others) by collecting high-quality, complex, "hard" tasks in a red-teaming setup.
• Engagement Type: 1P Expert Workforce
• Headcount: 10–15 experts (Focus on quality and fit over raw volume.)
• Working Model: Tight feedback loop with researchers, including daily syncs. Curators will have access to internal tools (Jetski, google3 codebase) and unreleased model checkpoints.

Role Summary

The Research Engineer (RE) Curator will design, implement, and review complex, multi-step ("mid-horizon") agentic tasks that simulate real-world challenges faced by Research Engineers. Each task will require 1–2 days of continuous effort to complete and will span multiple technical skills.
