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.

We’re looking for curious and intellectually proactive contributors—people who double‑check assumptions and play devil’s advocate. Are you comfortable with ambiguity and complexity? Does an async, remote, flexible opportunity sound exciting? Would you like to learn how modern AI systems are tested and evaluated?

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.

• Design and build complex tasks that challenge AI agents.
• Create detailed, objective‑scored versions of tasks.
• Write ambiguous versions to train agents to succeed with minimal guidance.
• Collaborate with the quality team during qualification and onboarding.
• Shape how useful AI models become for your future work.

• Postgraduate or four‑year bachelor’s degree (BS, MSc, MPhil, PhD) from reputable universities with a strong GPA (3.5‑4).
• Professional industry experience in accounting with a minimum of 3 years in relevant economics fields (Economics Experts, Analysts, researchers, or consultants). Experience in cross‑functional, applied, or international projects is an advantage.
• Ability to write clearly and professionally, including explaining complex tasks in simple, structured language.
• Ability to analyze and synthesize information from multiple sources and turn it into accurate, coherent outputs.
• Creativity in designing realistic and engaging examples, cases, or workflows based on domain knowledge.
• Excellent analytical thinking: reason about complex systems, scenarios, and logical implications.
• Exposure to LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI‑generated content.
• Strong attention to detail: spot contradictions, ambiguities, and vague requirements.
• Some understanding of how scoring or evaluation works in agent testing (precision, coverage, etc.).
• Proven ability to use English fluently in professional settings, written and verbal (C1/C2 level).
• Access to a laptop, stable internet connection, and sufficient availability to engage with project tasks.
• Motivation to work with challenging, complex, but well‑defined guidelines, learn new methods, and strengthen domain‑specific skills.

• Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $73/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
• Take part in a part‑time, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments.
• Work on advanced AI projects and gain valuable experience that enhances your portfolio.
• Influence how future AI models understand and communicate in your field of expertise.
