Zusammenfassung

prolificacademic ltd seeks Senior AI and ML engineers to join an expert contributor network. You will review, audit, and refine ML models and RLHF pipelines, focusing on accuracy, safety, and efficiency while working remotely on flexible tasks.

Ideal candidates have deep ML expertise, hands-on production experience, and strong background in Transformers and prompt engineering. Remote work offers varied, task-based assignments for experts across locations.

Qualifikationen

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, or a related quantitative field with a focus on Machine Learning.
• Hands-on experience building, deploying, or fine-tuning ML models in production.
• Professional-level understanding of neural networks such as Transformers, CNNs, and RNNs, plus modern optimization techniques.
• Practical experience with prompt engineering, RLHF, or retrieval-augmented generation workflows.
• Ability to audit complex model logic, detect training data contamination, and evaluate mathematical proofs behind ML algorithms.
• High attention to detail when spotting hallucinations, biased outputs, or logical failures in AI-generated content.

Aufgaben

• Review AI-generated explanations of model architectures, loss functions, and backpropagation for technical accuracy.
• Audit machine learning code and notebooks, including training loops, preprocessing scripts, and evaluation pipelines, for correctness and efficiency.
• Provide structured human feedback used to refine RLHF frameworks and align model behaviour with human intent, safety, and helpfulness.
• Analyse how models navigate complex chain-of-thought prompts and pinpoint where reasoning breaks down.
• Run comparative benchmark tests across model outputs using defined taxonomies and performance metrics.

Jobbeschreibung

Role overview

Senior AI and Machine Learning Engineers are invited to join an expert contributor network that trains and evaluates large language models on behalf of AI researchers and developers. Contributors are paid per task, work remotely on a flexible schedule, and focus on short, focused assignments that draw on deep technical expertise rather than full-time employment.

Responsibilities

• Review AI-generated explanations of model architectures, loss functions, and backpropagation for technical accuracy.
• Audit machine learning code and notebooks, including training loops, preprocessing scripts, and evaluation pipelines, for correctness and efficiency.
• Provide structured human feedback used to refine RLHF frameworks and align model behaviour with human intent, safety, and helpfulness.
• Analyse how models navigate complex chain-of-thought prompts and pinpoint where reasoning breaks down.
• Run comparative benchmark tests across model outputs using defined taxonomies and performance metrics.

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, or a related quantitative field with a focus on Machine Learning.
• Hands‑on experience building, deploying, or fine‑tuning machine learning models in a production environment.
• Professional‑level understanding of neural network architectures such as Transformers, CNNs, and RNNs, plus modern optimisation techniques.
• Practical experience with prompt engineering, RLHF, or retrieval‑augmented generation workflows.
• Ability to audit complex model logic, detect training data contamination, and evaluate mathematical proofs behind ML algorithms.
• High attention to detail when spotting hallucinations, biased outputs, or logical failures in AI‑generated technical content.

Nice to have

• Expert proficiency in PyTorch or TensorFlow/Keras.
• Advanced Python skills (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit‑learn) and familiarity with Hugging Face Transformers.
• Exposure to AWS SageMaker, Google Cloud Vertex AI, or tools such as Weights and Biases and LangChain.
• Familiarity with vector databases like Pinecone, Milvus, or Weaviate for RAG evaluation.

Benefits and work setup

• Paid contributor model with rates reaching up to $80 per hour for in-demand expertise.
• Flexible hours and fully remote participation, with many tasks shorter than one hour of uninterrupted work.
• Onboarding begins with a 10–15 minute skills assessment before joining the network.
