About The Role

Mindrift is looking for passionate freelance contributors to join the Tendem project (https://tendem.ai/) to help build the future of hybrid agents — where human expertise and AI capabilities work hand in hand. As an AI Agent Assistant, you\'ll collaborate with large language models (LLMs) that handle repetitive tasks, while you bring the nuance, judgment, and creativity required to deliver high-quality results. In this role, you won\'t just review what AI produces — you\'ll work alongside it, shaping and completing outputs so they are accurate, reliable, and ready for real-world application. Your day-to-day may range from fact-checking a scientific claim to curating a dataset, conducting market research, or refining sales leads. This flexible, part-time remote opportunity is ideal for professionals with backgrounds in research, editing, analysis, or related fields who are excited by the possibilities of human-AI collaboration. Your contributions will directly influence how AI systems learn, evolve, and support industries worldwide.

Responsibilities

• Your mission - deliver well-reasoned, accurate, and clearly written outputs backed by credible sources.
• Conduct thorough web research to verify information and collect supporting evidence.
• Collaborate with large language models (LLMs) and internal tools, using them as copilots to complete complex tasks.
• Design and refine prompts to guide AI toward higher-quality results.
• Apply best practices for working with LLMs, understanding both their strengths and limitations.
• Adapt quickly between diverse annotation, research, and analysis tasks while following detailed guidelines.

How To Get Started

Simply apply to this post, qualify, and get the chance to contribute to projects aligned with your skills, on your own schedule. From creating training prompts to refining model responses, you\'ll help shape the future of AI while ensuring technology benefits everyone.

Requirements

• You are currently pursuing or have already completed a Bachelor\'s or Master\'s Degree
• You have at least 1 year of relevant experience
• Your level of English is upper-intermediate (B2) or above
• You are skilled in web searching, fact-checking, intent-checking, able to work with LLMs and have great attention to detail
• You are ready to learn new methods, able to switch between tasks and topics quickly and sometimes work with challenging, complex guidelines
• Our freelance role is fully remote so, you just need a laptop, internet connection, time available and enthusiasm to take on a challenge

Benefits

• Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $6/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs
