• 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.

• 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
