Design, develop, and solve advanced, multi-disciplinary problems across your domain of expertise — the kind of problems that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI

Apply your research background to craft complex problem statements that stress-test and improve AI reasoning capabilities

Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs for academic rigor, logical soundness, and technical accuracy

Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to elevate model performance





Ensure the highest standards of clarity, depth, and intellectual integrity across all deliverables

Who You Are

Hold a Master’s or PhD in a STEM or highly technical field

Have a strong track record in research, publications, or complex technical project work

Exceptionally explicit written communicator — you can make hard ideas accessible without sacrificing precision

Self-directed and reliable when working independently and asynchronously

Genuinely excited by the idea of applying your expertise to one of the most consequential technologies of our time

Nice to Have

Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or AI quality workflows

Proficiency in Python, R, or other research-oriented programming languages

Background spanning multiple technical disciplines — cross-domain thinkers thrive here

Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts as a researcher or practitioner

Why Join Us

Work directly with the world’s leading AI research labs on genuinely frontier problems

Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where you do your best thinking

Freelance autonomy with the intellectual depth of real research work

Make a direct, measurable impact on how next-generation AI reasons and responds

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new research projects launch

Training and onboarding support provided — hit the ground running from day one
