About the Role
Cooperdata is looking for experienced software engineers to support a leading frontier AI lab in advancing research and infrastructure for next-generation machine learning systems.

In this role, you’ll help solve real technical challenges drawn from major open-source repositories — using hands-on coding, debugging, and validation to make meaningful contributions to the foundation of cutting-edge AI research.

This is a rare opportunity to apply your engineering expertise to projects that power the AI breakthroughs of the future — all while working independently, remotely, and on your own schedule.

Key Responsibilities
  • Diagnose, analyze, and resolve software issues sourced from large open-source codebases
  • Write, test, and validate code solutions that fix bugs and improve system performance
  • Implement and refine APIs, database structures, and backend components supporting AI workflows
  • Configure local development environments to replicate, debug, and investigate complex issues

Ideal Qualifications

  • Proven contributions to one or more of the following open-source repositories (required):
    • astropy/astropy
    • django/django
    • matplotlib/matplotlib
    • pytest-dev/pytest
    • scikit-learn/scikit-learn
    • sphinx-doc/sphinx
    • sympy/sympy
  • Advanced proficiency in Python, API development, and structured testing
  • Excellent analytical, written, and communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail and persistence in debugging complex systems
  • Residency in the EU

What We Offer
  • Fully remote & asynchronous — work wherever and whenever you’re most productive
  • Flexible workload: 10-20 hours per week, with potential to scale up to 40 hours
  • Open-ended engagement: opportunity for long-term collaboration
  • Start date: mid to late November (applications reviewed on a rolling basis)

Compensation & Terms
  • Independent contractor engagement through Cooperdata
  • Hourly compensation, paid weekly
  • Payments based on services rendered — full flexibility over your schedule and methods
