Open Source Fellow C/C++

About the job
ByteAsk is building an AI coding agent specifically for C and C++.
We’re looking for a small group of engineers who want to spend the next three months working on real open-source C/C++ codebases.

What you'll do

• Pick active C/C++ open-source repositories you care about and use ByteAsk to solve real issues and contribute PRs.
• Your goal is simple: get useful code merged.
• The work you get merged will be published with credit to you.

You might be a good fit if

• You’re strong in C or C++ and comfortable debugging low-level systems code
• You can navigate large, unfamiliar codebases without needing everything explained first
• You’re comfortable with build systems, compiler errors, tests, CI failures, and dependency issues
• You can take an issue from reproduction → root cause → patch → pull request
• You know Git and GitHub well enough to work with branches, diffs, reviews, and upstream maintainers
• You can read existing code and match the conventions and architecture of the project
• You’re comfortable debugging code you didn’t write
• You can independently find meaningful issues and figure out what is worth fixing
• Prior open-source contributions are a plus, but not required

Fellowship
Duration: 3 months initially
Location: Remote
Also included: ByteAsk subscription

If spending three months getting real C++ code merged while stress-testing a new coding agent sounds fun, we’d like to talk.
