Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation isproject-based, not permanent employment.
What this opportunity involves
You’ll create challenging coding test cases that push AI coding systems to their limits:
* Review and refine realistic coding tasks based on provided production codebases with realistic scope, requirements and information sources
* Write comprehensive functional tests that validate actual end-to-end behavior and edge-cases, not just superficial checks
* Craft “fair but hard” challenges where the AI has all the context it needs, but has to work for it (information scattered across files and external sources, complex reasoning required)
* Analyze AI failures to understand what the model struggles with vs. what it masters
* Iterate based on feedback from expert QA reviewers who score your work on 7 quality criteria
What we look for
This opportunity is a good fit for experienced developers, software engineers, and/or test automation specialists open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
* Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related fields
* 5+ years in software development, primarily Python (pytest, async/await, subprocess, file operations)
* Background in Full-Stack development, with an equal focus on building React-based interfaces and robust Back-end systems
* Experience writing tests (functional, integration – not just running them)
* Docker containers (running evaluations locally in containers)
* CI/CD understanding (GitHub Actions as a user: triggers, labels, reading results)
* English proficiency - B2
