  • Experience using, integrating, or tutoring others with AI/ML or LLM-powered testing/coding solutions in Ruby projects.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker), automated deployment, and scripting within Ruby environments.
  • Strong skills in defect documentation, profiling, and debugging Ruby applications.
  • Experience generating and maintaining high-quality documentation for tests, bugs, and technical debt.
  • Hackathon or competitive coding experience is a plus.
  • You are ready to learn new methods, able to switch between tasks and topics quickly and sometimes work with challenging, complex guidelines.
  • Our freelance role is fully remote so, you just need a laptop, internet connection, time available and enthusiasm to take on a challenge.

Why this freelance opportunity might be a great fit for you?

  • Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $60/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
  • Take part in a part-time, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments.
