Web Researcher

Web Research Specialist - 8-week paid contract, remote (US)

8 weeks, full-time, remote. 40 hours/week with ~$20/hour. ~ around $6,400 for the full contract.

What you'll actually do:

Work with a frontier AI model - you'll help train it, test it, and make it smarter.

Think prompt engineering meets research: you talk to the AI, find where it gets stuck, and help fix that. No coding needed.

You're a fit if you:

• Have 3+ years of research experience - you've dug through government databases, archives, registries, court records, PDFs
• Cite the exact page, table, or section
• Can pick up a topic you know nothing about and get to the bottom of it
• Write clear, native-level English
• Don't mind heavy documentation - the evidence trail is most of the work

Backgrounds we're looking for: reference librarians and archivists, investigative journalists and fact-checkers, OSINT / due diligence / KYC researchers, patent and legal-discovery searchers, genealogists, trivia and puzzle-hunt writers.

Bonus points: experience with LLM evaluation or red-teaming, comfort with JSON.

The details:

• Contract, pay per task - no benefits or paid leave
• 40 hours a week, with at least 4 hours overlapping Pacific time
• 8 weeks, starting ASAP
• Hiring process: quick intro call → short assessment (Google Form) → review.
