About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift is a platform that connects experts with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies, specifically in the realm of testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.

Project Overview:

Contributors will engage in unique tasks, which may include:

  • Designing innovative computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
  • Creating problems that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensuring that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
  • Formulating problems that require complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Developing problems based on genuine research challenges or practical applications in the field of physics;
  • Validating solutions through Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Providing clear documentation of problem statements and ensuring that correct answers are verified.

Desired Qualifications:

This position suits quantum researchers experienced in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any equivalent programming language;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
  • Experience with numerical simulation methods;
  • The capability to design problems that replicate real-world physics research workflows;
  • Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong written English proficiency (C1 or higher).

Application Process:

Apply → Complete qualification(s) → Join a project → Execute tasks → Receive payment.

Project Commitment:

During active project phases, contributors should expect to dedicate approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on specific project requirements. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.

Compensation:

Contributors can earn up to $45 per hour, contingent on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Please note that compensation may vary across different projects based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
