Project overview

This flexible, project‑based role is well‑suited for analysts, researchers, experienced professionals, and consultants with strong critical thinking skills. It is a part‑time, non‑permanent opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Create complex, realistic tasks that push frontier AI agents to their limits.
• Handle scattered data, conditional procedures, and genuine domain expertise.

• Write an ambiguous version intended to train the agent to succeed with less hand‑holding.
• Engage in real expert complexity only, improving the AI tools you will use yourself.

How to get started

Apply to this post and get the chance to contribute to projects aligned with your skills, on your own schedule. To begin working in production, you’ll need to complete the qualification step and project onboarding, where you’ll get familiar with the guidelines interface and try your first real task with guidance from our quality team. From creating training prompts to refining model responses, you’ll be directly shaping how useful these models become for your own future work.

Why this freelance opportunity might be a great fit for you

• Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $39/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
• Take part in a part‑time, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments.
• Work on advanced AI projects and gain valuable experience that enhances your portfolio.
• Influence how future AI models understand and communicate in your field of expertise.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD Degree in Economics or relevant fields with a strong GPA (3.5‑4.0).
• Professional industry experience in accounting with a minimum of 3 years in relevant economics fields (Economics Experts, Analysts, researchers, or consultants).
• Advanced English proficiency (C1) or above.
• Clear and professional writing skills, including explaining complex tasks in simple, structured language and analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources into accurate, coherent outputs.
• Excellent analytical thinking and strong attention to detail.
• Creativity in designing realistic and engaging examples, cases, or workflows based on your domain knowledge.
• Exposure to LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI‑generated content with some understanding of how scoring or evaluation works in agent testing (precision, coverage, etc.).
• Ability to learn new methods, switch between tasks and topics quickly, and sometimes work with challenging, complex guidelines.
• Fully remote role; you just need a laptop, internet connection, time available, and enthusiasm to take on a challenge.
