About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift specializes in connecting talented professionals with project-based AI opportunities for top technology companies, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This position is project-based and not a permanent role.
Key Responsibilities
As a contributor, your tasks may include:
- Designing innovative computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
- Creating Python-based problems to solve using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
- Ensuring that problems are computationally intensive, requiring significant time to solve (days/weeks) rather than manual solutions;
- Developing scenarios that involve complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Using real research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics as a basis for problems;
- Validating solutions through Python with standard physics simulation libraries;
- Documenting problem statements clearly and providing verified correct answers.
Qualifications
This role is ideal for physicists with Python experience who are looking for part-time, non-permanent project work. The ideal candidate will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, and Stata is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, which may include applied, research, or teaching experience;
- Experience in numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to create problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various areas of physics;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).

Project Time Expectations
During active phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week based on project demands. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $14 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Please note that compensation can vary by project based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their specific requirements.
