What if your years of advanced research could directly shape the intelligence of tomorrow's AI? We're looking for Masters and PhD-level researchers to bring their deep domain expertise to one of the most consequential challenges in modern technology — teaching cutting-edge AI models to reason, solve, and think at a graduate level.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers who want to put their expertise to work on something genuinely important — without sacrificing the autonomy of academic life.

- Review and evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, rigor, and conceptual accuracy
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
- Ensure every deliverable meets a high standard of clarity, precision, and academic integrity
