About the job

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

At Mindrift, we bridge the gap between specialists and project-based AI opportunities with leading tech companies, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and not a permanent employment opportunity.

What You Will Do:

While each project has its unique tasks, contributors may:

  • Craft original computational physics problems that simulate authentic research workflows;
  • Develop problems that necessitate Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries like Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensure that these problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable timeframe (days to weeks);
  • Design challenges requiring complex reasoning chains in fields such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Base these problems on actual research challenges or practical applications in physics;
  • Validate solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly document problem statements along with verified correct answers.

Who We Are Looking For:

This opportunity is well-suited for quantum researchers with experience in Python, who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
  • Experience with numerical simulation methods;
  • The ability to design problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
  • Creative problem-solving skills across various physics areas;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong written English skills (C1+).

How the Process Works:

Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.

Project Time Expectations:

For this project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project requirements. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.

Compensation:

Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, depending on their expertise and contribution pace. Please note that compensation may vary across projects based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
