About Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.

Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The role

We’re looking for Computer Science Specialists to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. If you have a background in CS research or technical analysis, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to help AI understand and summarize complex scientific data.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $60/hr, depending on skills and experience level. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work , though many are shorter.

What you’ll bring

• Educational Background: at minimum, a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
• Technical Literacy: ability to interpret research papers, understand complex algorithms, and review code logic.
• Analytical Mindset: high level of cognitive competency with a sharp eye for technical hallucinations or logical flaws.
• Professional Verification: a valid LinkedIn profile to verify your degree and background during the screening process.
• A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients

What you’ll be doing in the role

• AI Evaluation & Ranking: comparing multiple AI-generated responses to technical prompts and ranking them based on accuracy, logic, and safety.
• Scientific Review: reviewing CS research papers alongside AI-generated summaries and graphical abstracts to ensure scientific integrity.
• Fact-Checking: identifying inaccuracies where the AI has misinterpreted technical data, formulas, or research findings.
• RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback): providing the human “ground truth” to help models align with professional standards in software engineering and data science.
• Code & Logic Verification: auditing AI-generated code snippets or architectural diagrams for structural and functional correctness.

Key Technologies

• Generative AI & LLMs: training the next generation of technical and reasoning models.
• Technical Documentation: working with research papers, code repositories, and data visualizations.
• Verification Frameworks: using structured evaluation rubrics to audit AI performance.
