Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

Design complex, original machine learning problems rooted in your specialized domain of expertise
Craft evaluation tasks that demand advanced knowledge far beyond standard ML pipelines
Draw from your own research to create challenges that would stump even the most capable LLMs
Define precise problem statements, gold-standard solutions, and robust evaluation criteria
Assess AI-generated ML solutions for correctness, creativity, and methodological rigor
Document expected failure modes, difficulty levels, and the domain knowledge required to solve each problem
Collaborate asynchronously with a global network of top researchers and engineers

Who You Are

You hold a graduate degree (MS or PhD) in a scientific or technical field that intersects with machine learning
You have strong working knowledge of ML fundamentals — model selection, feature engineering, evaluation metrics, and pipeline design
You're deeply embedded in active research problems in your field and know where the hard edges are
You can identify precisely where general ML knowledge falls short and specialized domain expertise becomes essential
