Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may: 

• Design rigorous Computer Science problems reflecting professional practice; 
• Evaluate AI solutions for correctness, assumptions, and constraints; 
• Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy); 
• Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic; 
• Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems;
• Collaborate with a global community of PhDs to ensure the highest scientific integrity.

What we look for

This opportunity is a good fit for Computer Science experts with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
