Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.
Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
The role
We’re looking for Senior Python Developers to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. If you have a background in Software Engineering, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to help AI understand and summarize complex scientific data.
Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $50/hr, depending on skills and experience level. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
What you’ll bring
- Educational Background: a BSc or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or closely related technical field
- Professional Experience: real world experience as a Senior Software Engineer/ Developer specializing in Python
- Coding Proficiency: ability to solve LeetCode Medium to Hard-level problems in Python independently.
- Deep Domain Knowledge: expert understanding of the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock), decorators, generators, memory management, and asynchronous patterns (asyncio, async/await).
- Code Quality: a high standard for clean code, including modularity, readability, and adherence to modern Pythonic standards (PEP 8, PEP 20).
- Attention to Detail: ability to spot subtle logical flaws, memory leaks, or security vulnerabilities in model-generated code.
