What We Do

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.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking curious, intellectually proactive contributors who double‑check assumptions and play devil’s advocate. Comfortable with ambiguity and complexity? Excited by an async, remote, flexible opportunity? If you want to learn how modern AI systems are tested and evaluated, this may be the role for you.

Project Description

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