Materials Engineer & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer

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

You design computational material science problems to challenge a frontier AI model. The problem must have an answer verifiable by code, and the problem has to require a specialized tool like ObsPy, instaseis, pyrocko, MITgcm, flopy/MODFLOW, or others. Generic data wrangling around synthesised toy data won't cut it. Each problem runs inside a sealed Linux container with the tool pre-installed and a programmatic judge that grades the model's answer.

• Pick an anchor tool and design a problem that hinges on its waveform‑processing kernels, geophysical inversion routines, sub‑surface flow solvers, or community‑validated data pipelines
• Write a Python reference solution, supply input files and model or domain...
