What We Do

At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in using the power of collective intelligence to ethically shape the future of AI. Our platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of Generative AI by tapping into real‑world expertise from across the globe.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for curious, intellectually proactive contributors who double‑check assumptions and play devil’s advocate. If you are comfortable with ambiguity and complexity, thrive in an async, remote, flexible setting, and want to learn how modern AI systems are tested and evaluated, this might be the right fit for you.

Project Overview

In this flexible, project‑based opportunity you will create complex, realistic tasks that push frontier AI agents to their limits. Think scattered data, conditional procedures, and genuine domain expertise. You’ll build a detailed version with objective scoring, then write an ambiguous version that trains agents to succeed with less hand‑holding. The work is deeply expert‑driven, and it helps improve the AI tools you will eventually use.

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 a qualification step and project onboarding, where you’ll familiarize yourself 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 future work.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Auditing, Financial Accounting, or closely aligned areas.
• Professional industry experience in accounting with a minimum of 3 years in relevant fields (e.g., audit, financial reporting, internal controls, tax, management accounting). Experience in cross‑functional, applied, or international projects is an advantage, especially if expertise has been used in real‑world or consulting contexts.
• Having a chartered accountancy qualification such as CPA, ACCA, or ICAEW is an advantage.
• Familiarity with US GAAP standards.
• Ability to write clearly and professionally, including explaining complex tasks in simple, structured language.

• Motivation to work with challenging, complex, but well‑defined guidelines, learn new methods, and strengthen domain‑specific skills.

Benefits

• Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $21 per hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
