At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in using the power of collective human intelligence to ethically shape the future of AI.
What we do
The Mindrift platform, launched and powered by Toloka, connects domain experts with cutting-edge AI projects from innovative tech clients. Our mission is to unlock the potential of GenAI by tapping into real-world expertise from across the globe.
Who we're looking for
Calling all security researchers, engineers, and penetration testers with a strong foundation in problem-solving, offensive security, and AI-related risk assessment.
If you thrive on digging into complex systems, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, and thinking creatively under constraints, join us!
We're looking for someone who can bring a hands-on approach to technical challenges, whether breaking into systems to expose weaknesses or building secure tools and processes. We value contributors with a passion for continuous learning, experimentation, and adaptability.
About the project
We're on the hunt for
hands-on Python engineers
for a new project focused on developing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and internal tools for running and evaluating agent behavior. You'll implement base methods for agent action verification, integrate with internal and client infrastructures, and help fill tooling gaps across the team.
What you'll be doing:
Developing and maintaining MCP-compatible evaluation servers
Implementing logic to check agent actions against scenario definitions
Creating or extending tools that writers and QAs use to test agents
Working closely with infrastructure engineers to ensure compatibility
Occasionally helping with test writing or debug sessions when needed
Although we're only looking for experts for this current project, contributors with consistent high-quality submissions may receive an invitation for ongoing collaboration across future projects.
How to get started:
Apply to this post, qualify, and get the chance to contribute to a project aligned with your skills, on your own schedule. Shape the future of AI while building tools that benefit everyone.
Requirements
The ideal contributor will have:
4+ years of Python development experience, ideally in backend or tools
Solid experience building APIs, testing frameworks, or protocol-based interfaces
Understanding of Docker, Linux CLI, and communication
Ability to integrate new tools into existing infrastructures
Familiarity with how LLM agents are prompted, executed, and evaluated
Clear documentation and communication skills - you'll work with QA and writers
We also value applicants who have:
Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar structured agent-server interfaces
Knowledge of FastAPI or similar async web frameworks
Experience working with LLM logs, scoring functions, or sandbox environments
Ability to support dev environments (devcontainers, CI configs, linters)
JS experience
Benefits
Get paid for your expertise, with
rates that can go up to $30/hour
depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
Take part in a flexible, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments.
Participate in an advanced AI project and gain valuable experience to enhance your portfolio.
Influence how future AI models understand and communicate in your field of expertise.
