The work
You will help evaluate how advanced AI models handle difficult expert problems. The work centers on research and evaluation rather than production engineering, using rigorous technical reasoning and clear written feedback.
- Design realistic technical scenarios and problem sets in your area of expertise.
- Write expert-level reference solutions and grading rubrics.
- Evaluate AI-generated answers for correctness, depth, and sound domain judgment.
- Write structured technical explanations that make expert decisions understandable.
What it pays and takes
This is a remote contract role for an experienced scientific or computational specialist. Work is independent and asynchronous.
- Pay: $135 per hour.
- Location: Remote, open to candidates in the countries listed for this role, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other listed countries.
- Language: Professional fluency in English.
- Education: A PhD or doctorate in a relevant scientific or computational field is required.
- Experience: At least 10 years of experience and current or recent hands-on activity in the field.
- Expertise: Formal methods, computational science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or biology.
- Skills: Strong written communication for technical explanations and structured feedback.
- Work style: Ability to work independently, asynchronously, and remotely.
- Helpful background includes research publications, open-source contributions, recognized domain work, peer review, code review, grading, or editing.
