Prolific is building the human data infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI systems. As frontier AI labs scale their
use of human-generated data for training, evaluation, and alignment, the way we measure quality, performance, and operational
efficiency becomes increasingly important.
The Role
You'll join Prolific's Integrity team, which protects the platform from fraud and misuse. This is a new role focused on
verification - in particular identifying and validating high quality expert participants. This is an emerging area, so part of the
role will be to shape the problem space: working with other teams to find,validate and model useful signals for participant
quality. The ideal candidate will help define the right problems to solve, not just execute against a fixed brief.
The Applied Scientist role combines data science, ML and statistics to build practical systems that drive real business outcomes.
This isn't a pure research role, although you may explore papers and explore new ideas. The focus is on turning promising
approaches into production ready solutions. It is also not an ML engineering role: you don't need engineering experience, but you
should understand what deploying a model involves and the practical constraints around it. We care about approaches that actually
work in production, not ones that are too slow or expensive to run, and about the judgement to tell the difference.
How You'll Work
with support from leadership. You don't need to have all the answers on day one.
What We are looking for
reinforcement learning, but any area of genuine depth counts
do.
Nice to have
Why Prolific is a great place to work
