Job description

This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $80-$110 per hour
Join a cutting-edge AI research initiative and help shape the next generation of frontier AI models. We are seeking experienced Machine Learning & NLP Experts to contribute their technical expertise toward training and evaluating advanced AI systems. In this role, you will design challenging, real-world machine learning and natural language processing tasks, create high-quality reference solutions, and assess AI model performance to identify reasoning gaps and improve overall capabilities.
This is a part-time, fully remote opportunity requiring approximately 20 hours per week.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
  • Design challenging, real-world machine learning and natural language processing tasks covering areas such as:
    • Machine Learning Model Development and Evaluation
    • Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
    • Natural Language Generation (NLG)
    • Information Retrieval and Search
    • Applied Machine Learning Pipelines
    • Transformer Models and Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • Develop accurate reference solutions and integrate tasks into agentic development environments using Python.
  • Build executable evaluation frameworks and testing components where appropriate.
  • Evaluate AI model outputs for technical correctness, reasoning quality, and overall performance.
  • Identify capability gaps, classify model failure modes, and provide detailed written analyses.
  • Create and refine evaluation guidelines, scoring rubrics, and quality standards for ML and NLP tasks.
  • Collaborate with fellow subject matter experts to ensure consistency, accuracy, and high-quality training data.

Required Qualifications
  • Deep hands-on experience in Machine Learning and/or Natural Language Processing through industry, research, or graduate/PhD-level work.
  • Strong proficiency in Python with practical experience developing ML or NLP applications.
  • Strong understanding of modern machine learning techniques, including:
    • Model Training and Evaluation
    • Transformer Architectures
    • Large Language Models (LLMs)
    • NLP Pipelines
    • Feature Engineering and Model Optimization

  • Experience with industry-standard frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers, or equivalent.
  • Ability to commit approximately 20 hours per week.
  • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in AI model evaluation, AI training data creation, or human-in-the-loop model assessment.
  • Familiarity with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, embedding models, or multimodal AI systems.
  • Experience building benchmarking frameworks, automated evaluation pipelines, or testing infrastructure.
  • Contributions to open-source ML/NLP projects or published research are a plus.
  • Experience working with production-scale machine learning systems.

Role Details
  • Employment Type: Independent Contractor
  • Work Arrangement: Fully Remote
  • Schedule: Approximately 20 hours per week
  • Project Duration: Based on project requirements and performance, with opportunities for extension

Equal Opportunity
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
