Freelance Economics Expert - AI Trainer

At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in using the power of collective intelligence to ethically shape the future of AI.

The Mindrift platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of Generative AI by tapping into real‑world expertise from across the globe.

Skeptical, intellectually proactive contributors who double‑check assumptions and play devil’s advocate. Comfort with ambiguity and complexity, open to a part‑time, flexible, async, remote role.

This is a flexible, project‑based opportunity well‑suited for analysts, researchers, experienced professionals and consultants with strong critical thinking skills.

You will create complex, realistic tasks that push frontier AI agents to their limits. Think scattered data, conditional procedures, and genuine domain expertise required. You’ll build a detailed version with objective scoring, then write an ambiguous version intended to train the agent to succeed with less hand‑holding. Real expert complexity only – you’re improving the AI tools you’ll eventually use yourself.

Apply to this post and get the chance to contribute to projects aligned with your skills, on your own schedule. To begin working in production, you’ll need to complete a qualification step and project onboarding, where you’ll familiarize yourself with the guidelines interface and try your first real task with guidance from our quality team. From creating training prompts to refining model responses, you’ll directly shape how useful these models become for your own future work.
