Job description

Please submit your resume in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

This project requires you to put yourself in the position of a range of different user personas and engage in realistic multi-turn conversations with LLMs, working towards a clearly defined goal. You will need to :

  • use a range of tones and registers,
  • stress-test the models’ ability to respond adequately based on several abstract dimensions (e.g. instruction-following, emotional intelligence, consistency under changing constraints), and
  • react and adapt to model output while maintaining tight focus on each individual task’s requirements.

Think of yourself as a controlled adversary, crafting plausible human dialogue that exposes subtle model weaknesses while maintaining narrative coherence.

For this, you will need to :

  • Think like a storyteller and a tester
  • Understand how humans actually speak, hesitate, contradict themselves, and escalate emotionally
  • Be able to deliberately engineer conversational pressure without breaking realism
  • Be methodical enough to document observations clearly and consistently
  • Be able to pinpoint failure modes and LLM patterns
  • What we look for

    This opportunity is a good fit if you are seeking for open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have :

  • an under- or postgraduate qualification in an Arts-based subject (English, Creative Writing, Journalism, MFL, Psychology, Cognitive Science), related field, or work experience at an equivalent level; or 1+ years’ experience in Conversational AI Testing, Narrative Design, or Adversarial Model Testing
  • C2-level English (CPE, TOEFL 114+, IELTS 8.0 or above)
  • Nice to have

  • Conversational UX / dialogue design experience
  • An understanding of prompt engineering or LLM evaluation
  • Experience with QA testing for complex systems
  • A background in narrative design, interactive fiction, or screenwriting
  • A qualification in, or professional experience with, behavioural research, psychology, or linguistics
  • Demonstrated familiarity with LLM behaviour, failure modes, and evaluation concepts
  • Experience working with structured guidelines, rubrics, or annotation frameworks
  • You will receive training in our guidelines and in how to create structured, focused conversations that meet the project’s goals. You will also be assigned a mentor who will guide you through your first conversations and provide clear, actionable feedback to support your improvement.

    How it works

    Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid

    Project time expectations

    For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

    Payment

  • Paid contributions, with rates up to $18 / hour
  • Fixed project rate or individual rates, depending on the project
  • Some projects include incentive payments
  • Note : Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project needs, and other factors. Higher rates may be offered to highly specialized experts. Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project.
