• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Author complex, high-fidelity reasoning traces that capture how an LLM plans, uses tools, and makes decisions step by step
• Design and document structured reasoning workflows for sophisticated real-world technical tasks
• Review and mentor reasoning trace quality to ensure clarity, logical consistency, and optimal decision-making patterns
• Develop data strategies that help LLMs navigate intricate, multi-step problem-solving scenarios
• Apply senior-level architectural insight to ensure the data you produce drives reliable, trustworthy model behaviour

Who You Are

• Experienced machine learning practitioner with significant hands-on expertise in ML, AI, or closely related technical fields
• Skilled at decomposing complex problems into clear, logical, well-documented reasoning steps
• Familiar with advanced LLM evaluation and training methodologies
• Sharp analytical thinker who can bridge deep technical knowledge with structured written communication
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation systems
• Top-tier Kaggle competition results (Grandmaster or Master level), demonstrating elite-level model performance and feature engineering expertise
• Familiarity with reasoning trace construction, chain-of-thought prompting, or tool-use training pipelines
• Background in applied AI research or production ML systems

Why Join Us

• Work on some of the most technically advanced AI training projects in the industry alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and asynchronous - work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Direct impact on how next-generation AI models reason and behave in the real world
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
