About the Role

We are building an evaluation benchmark for frontier AI browsing agents. Your job is to design research problems that a state-of-the-art AI cannot solve, even with full web access and multiple attempts. This is not a subject matter expert role, nor is it a content-writing role. It is investigative research. You will start from a verifiable fact, work backwards to construct a question that makes that fact extremely hard to locate, and then prove your work with a complete, auditable evidence trail. What You Will Produce

What You'll Do

  • A natural-language research question with a short, stable, objectively verifiable answer
  • Clues, each independently checkable, spanning multiple fact types - including dates, people, places, organisations, works, events, records, and quantities - with specific constraints
  • A validation record showing the obvious searches you ran and the results they returned

You're a Good Fit If You

  • Required skills: LLM, User Research
  • Master's OR >3 YOE.
  • Demonstrated open-web research ability, including locating primary records and navigating government and institutional databases, archives, registries, and PDF documents
  • Precision with sourcing. You cite 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 the majority of the work
  • Experience with LLM evaluation, red-teaming, or benchmark construction
  • Experience in one or more of the following domains:
