What you'll do
- Design hard research questions that a top AI browsing agent cannot solve even with full web access, to help train and test AI
- Start from a verifiable fact and work backwards to a question that makes it very hard to find
- Write clues that can each be checked on their own, across dates, people, places, organisations, works, events, records and quantities
- Keep a validation record of the obvious searches you ran and the results they returned
- Cite exact pages, tables and sections as an auditable evidence trail
Requirements
- Master's degree or more than 3 years of experience
- Proven open web research skills, including finding primary records and using government and institutional databases, archives, registries and PDF documents
- Precision with sourcing, citing exact pages, tables and sections, not just homepages
- Comfort researching unfamiliar subjects from scratch
- Native or near native written English
- High tolerance for structured documentation; the evidence trail is most of the work
- Experience with LLM evaluation, red teaming, or benchmark construction
- Experience in one or more of: reference librarianship, archival research or special collections; investigative journalism or fact checking; OSINT, due diligence, KYC or investigative research; patent, prior art or legal discovery search; genealogy and records research; competitive quizzing or puzzle hunt construction
- Nice to have: familiarity with JSON and structured data delivery formats
