Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This opportunity is for an Evaluation Scenario Writer. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
Crafting Effective AI Agent Evaluation Scenarios
As an Evaluation Scenario Writer, you’ll play a crucial role in assessing the performance of AI agents. While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:
- Create structured test cases that simulate complex human workflows
- Define gold-standard behavior and scoring logic to evaluate agent actions
- Analyze agent logs, failure modes, and decision paths
- Work with code repositories and test frameworks to validate your scenarios
- Iterate on prompts, instructions, and test cases to improve clarity and difficulty
- Ensure that scenarios are production-ready, easy to run, and reusable
Essential Skills for AI Agent Evaluation Scenario Writers
This opportunity is a good fit for software engineers open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- 3+ years of software development experience with a strong Python focus
- Experience with Git and code repositories
- Comfort with structured formats like JSON/YAML for scenario description
- Understanding of core LLM limitations (hallucinations, bias, context limits) and how these affect evaluation design
- Familiarity with Docker
- English proficiency – B2
