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
This project requires you to put yourself in the position of a range of different user personas and engage in realistic multi-turn conversations with LLMs, working towards a clearly defined goal. You will need to:
- use a range of tones and registers,
- stress-test the models' ability to respond adequately based on several abstract dimensions (e.g. instruction-following, emotional intelligence, consistency under changing constraints), and
- react and adapt to model output while maintaining tight focus on each individual task's requirements.
For this, you will need to:
- Think like a storyteller and a tester
- Understand how humans actually speak, hesitate, contradict themselves, and escalate emotionally
- Be able to deliberately engineer conversational pressure without breaking realism
- Be methodical enough to document observations clearly and consistently
- Be able to pinpoint failure modes and LLM patterns
This opportunity is a good fit if you are seeking for open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- an under- or postgraduate qualification in an Arts-based subject (English, Creative Writing, Journalism, MFL, Psychology, Cognitive Science), related field, or work experience at an equivalent level; or 1+ years' experience in Conversational AI Testing, Narrative Design, or Adversarial Model Testing
- C2-level English (CPE, TOEFL 114+, IELTS 8.0 or above)
- Conversational UX / dialogue design experience
- An understanding of prompt engineering or LLM evaluation
- Experience with QA testing for complex systems
- A background in narrative design, interactive fiction, or screenwriting
- A qualification in, or professional experience with, behavioural research, psychology, or linguistics
- Demonstrated familiarity with LLM behaviour, failure modes, and evaluation concepts
- Experience working with structured guidelines, rubrics, or annotation frameworks
