Generalist — Real World Understanding

We're seeking sharp, analytically minded generalists to help train AI systems on real-world reasoning and visual understanding tasks. You'll evaluate AI performance on ambiguous, multi-modal challenges that require common sense, spatial reasoning, and the ability to interpret real-world scenarios that don't fit neatly into a single domain.

The ideal candidate is a recent graduate from a selective university with strong general reasoning skills and intellectual curiosity. You're comfortable with ambiguity, can think critically about visual and real-world tasks, and bring the kind of flexible problem-solving that comes from a rigorous academic background.

This is a flexible, remote, hourly role — tackle fascinating AI reasoning challenges on your own schedule.

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