Remote Contract$135/hr What you'll need 1 step 1 Resume Job Description
We're building a research cohort of senior domain experts in ML inference and GPU kernel engineering — spanning inference serving systems, kernel optimization, and large-model deployment infrastructure — to help evaluate how frontier AI models reason about hard, real-world expert-level problems. This is research-and-evaluation work, not production engineering: you'll be defining what "correct" and "excellent" look like on problems you already know deeply.
Experience: 6–10 years
Education:
PhD/Doctorate, or Master's with a strong research record Candidates who meet the requirements and provide the requested materials will be prioritized for review. As part of this process, we conduct thorough background checks. Why Apply Work directly on frontier AI research problems in your area of deep expertise Fully remote, flexible, asynchronous — fits around existing work Competitive hourly compensation ($100–$170/hr, based on experience)
Responsibilities:
Design realistic technical scenarios and problem sets within your track Author expert-level reference solutions and grading rubrics Evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, depth, and domain judgment
Required Qualifications:
Currently or recently active in the field — hands-on, not purely academic-adjacent Strong written communication — you'll be authoring technical explanations and structured feedback, not just doing the work itself Comfortable with independent, asynchronous, remote work Meets the experience and education bar described in
