What this pays

Rates are set by the client project, not by us, and we do not know them until a contract is in place. Work is paid hourly or per task depending on the engagement. We would rather tell you that than publish a figure we cannot stand behind.

About the Role

AI Safety Evaluation Project | Remote | Contract Locations: US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia We are seeking qualified scientific and technical professionals to support an AI safety evaluation project focused on nuclear-related content. The work involves reviewing AI-generated prompts and responses, evaluating safety risks, identifying dual-use content, and assessing technical accuracy and responsible handling. Tier 1 - First-Pass Annotators Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant STEM or technical field. Relevant backgrounds may include Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Physics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related disciplines. Relevant professional experience in nuclear technology, reactor systems, nuclear materials, radiation, nuclear facilities, laboratory research, nuclear safety, or engineering may also qualify. Tier 2 - Senior SMEs and Auditors PhD or equivalent advanced industry or professional expertise in a relevant field. Relevant backgrounds may include Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Physics, Physics, Nuclear Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fields. Strong candidates may have professional experience in nuclear operations, reactor technology, nuclear fuel and materials, nuclear security or safeguards, nuclear safety, national laboratories, government, defense, or regulatory environments. Who we're looking for We value real-world nuclear expertise, analytical judgment, and strong attention to detail. Experience in AI evaluation, AI safety, scientific research, technical review, or quality assurance is a plus. Candidates may qualify through formal education or through substantial industry or professional experience relevant to nuclear science or engineering. Remote and contract, within the eligible locations listed above.
