Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project‑based as an independent freelance contributor and does not create an employment relationship with Toloka or our clients.

What this opportunity involves

As an independent freelance contributor, you choose which projects to join and how you organize your work, as long as deliverables meet the project requirements and deadlines.

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Coordinate cross-language migration workflows by analyzing C/Rust/Go codebases to create behavioral tests and migration stubs for Rust targets.
• Design and implement black-box functional test frameworks (pytest + uv, Python 3.10) for native CLI projects.
• Built reproducible Docker evaluation images and CI pipelines for agent evaluation (Dagger/Codespaces), handling secure workspace setup and git submodule integration.
• Apply professional judgment to assess AI responses.
