〔Refactoring〕RefactorQuest: Maintaining a Growing Python Simulation Codebase
Deadline: Rolling until position filled
Job Description
We have a growing Python codebase largely generated by AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.). AI-generated code can be well-structured, but it tends to accumulate — redundant functions, unused imports, duplicate logic, and bloat that slows things down.
We need a developer who can jump in periodically to:
- Identify and remove dead code, unused dependencies, and redundant logic
- Consolidate duplicate functions and streamline modules
- Improve overall codebase hygiene and maintainability
- Keep things lean as new AI-generated features get added
This is ongoing, flexible work — some weeks might be 2-3 hours, others 10+. Ideal for someone who enjoys cleaning up code and keeping projects from becoming unmaintainable.
Requirements
Must-Have Skills · Python, code cleanup, identifying dead code, dependency management
Nice-to-Have Skills · Experience with AI-generated codebases, linting tools, test coverage
Tech Stack & Tools · Python, Git
