We provide frontier evaluations and reinforcement learning environments to improve LLM capabilities, as well as contextual evaluations to monitor and improve AI agents in enterprise settings. Our AI recruiting agent sources and vets domain experts for our data platform that enables rapid production of high-quality training data. Our research spans high-value, specialized domains (legal, medical, finance, coding, etc.), where expert-level data is the hardest to produce and most valuable for advanced model performance. Our pipeline performance system ensures both quality and velocity. Job Title: PhD Scientist - STEM Expert Job Type: Contractor Location: Remote(Worldwide) Opportunity Snapshot Pay: $45 - $90/hour Commitment: Flexible — fits alongside your current role Location: Fully remote You’ll need: A completed PhD in a STEM field, plus hands-on research experience Your tasks: Build difficult technical problems from your own research and define what makes an answer correct These tasks are hard to build, and that’s the point. We’re looking for people with genuine depth in their field: the problems where the textbook answer isn’t enough, where the right approach depends on reading the constraints correctly, where a plausible-looking answer is quietly wrong. What you’ll do Design difficult technical problems drawn from your own research area, with realistic constraints and supporting data. Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there. Define objective criteria for correctness, so another researcher reviewing the work would reach the same verdict. Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method. Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them. What we’re looking for Completed PhD in a STEM field. This is a hard requirement. Hands-on research experience — work you did yourself, not work you read about. Wet lab, research lab, or academic experience is strongly preferred. Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another researcher could verify it. Publications or a record of research contribution is a strong plus. Prior experience on AI training or evaluation projects is a plus, not a requirement. #J-18808-Ljbffr Micro1
