  • Writing a clear, realistic prompt for the task

  • Executing the task while recording your screen

  • Writing a detailed evaluation rubric to assess AI performance on that task

Working Hours & Flexibility

  • Minimum commitment of 10 hours per week

Additional Details

  • A desktop or laptop computer is required (Chromebooks are not supported)

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

  • This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
