About Prolific
Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.
Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
The role
We’re looking for JavaScript Experts to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using real engineering expertise. If you have the necessary experience, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.
Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $50 per hour. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
What you’ll bring
- Education: a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- Professional Experience: professional experience building scalable web applications using JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Coding Proficiency: ability to solve LeetCode Medium to Hard-level problems in JavaScript independently.
- Deep Domain Knowledge: expert understanding of the Event Loop, closures, prototypical inheritance, and asynchronous patterns (Promises, async/await).
- Code Quality: a high standard for clean code, including modularity, readability, and adherence to modern ES6+ standards.
- Attention to Detail: ability to spot subtle logical flaws, memory leaks, or security vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, prototype pollution) in model-generated code.
What you'll be doing in the role
- Evaluate Code Accuracy: review AI-generated JavaScript and TypeScript code for functional correctness and adherence to best practices.
- Validate Logic & Reasoning: audit the step-by-step explanations provided by AI for complex algorithmic solutions to ensure they are logically sound.
- Conduct Execution Testing: execute model-generated scripts in appropriate environments (Node.js or Browser consoles) to verify performance and output.
