The goal is to create a benchmark dataset that pushes the limits of current AI reasoning and retrieval. This is a short-term research engagement with significant impact on AI evaluation. ##

2\. Key Responsibilities

Create original, expert-level prompts that require tool use (e.g., search, browse, or code execution). - Ensure prompts are objective, self-contained, and yield clear, unambiguous answers. - Test prompts against advanced AI models and document failures / successes. - Provide reasoning steps and solutions for each prompt. - Classify prompts into subject domains for dataset organization. - Collaborate with reviewers for expert validation and prompt refinement. ##

4\. More About the Opportunity

Remote and asynchronous — set your own hours. - Expected commitment : ~10–20 hours / week. - Project duration : ~2 months, with possible extensions based on dataset needs. - Opportunity to contribute to high-impact AI safety and evaluation research. ##

5\. Compensation & Contract Terms

Competitive hourly compensation based on expertise. - Independent contractor engagement. - Payments for services rendered processed weekly via Stripe Connect. ##

6\. Application Process

Submit your resume or CV highlighting your subject matter expertise. - Complete a brief questionnaire about your background and areas of specialization. - Selected applicants may be asked to draft a short test prompt. - You’ll receive follow-up within a few days regarding next steps. ##
