About the job
High Level Description Autonomous AI coding agents increasingly rely on powerful frontier language models to understand and modify complex software systems. However, these models can be expensive to operate, while smaller and more affordable models often struggle with the same development tasks. Context engineering offers a potential way to narrow this gap by systematically selecting, structuring, and supplying relevant information about the codebase, architecture, development conventions, and task at hand. This thesis investigates whether well-engineered context can enable smaller or less capable language models to approach the performance of frontier models on realistic software...
