UX Designer - AI Consulting

We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with 15 UX designers for part-time, fully-remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects pay $80–140 USD per hour, with higher rates for experts with tenure at well-recognized technology companies.

This role includes designing original UX challenges that push past what today’s leading AI models can do, stress-testing those models on them, and grading where their work falls short of a strong UX team’s standards.
