Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency. Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.What This Opportunity Involves While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

  • Coordinate cross-language migration workflows by analyzing C/Rust/Go codebases to create behavioral tests and migration stubs for Rust targets.
  • Design and implement black-box functional test frameworks (pytest + uv, Python 3.10) for native CLI projects.
  • Built reproducible Docker evaluation images and CI pipelines for agent evaluation (Dagger/Codespaces), handling secure workspace setup and git submodule integration.
  • Apply professional judgment to assess AI responses

What We Look For This opportunity is a good fit for senior software developers 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 with at least 5 years in Python
  • Familiarity with C, Rust, Go / confidence to read this code with LLM
  • English proficiency - B2
  • Stable internet connection

How It Works Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid Project time expectations For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active. Payment

  • Paid contributions, with rates up to $45/hour*
  • Fixed project rate or individual rates, depending on the project
  • Some projects include incentive payments
  • Note: Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project needs, and other factors. Higher rates may be offered to highly specialized experts. Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project
