The posting

Forward Deployed Researcher

Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space, we are the architects of the human data infrastructure that's reshaping the landscape of AI development. In a world where foundational AI technologies are increasingly commoditized, it's the quality and diversity of human-generated data that truly differentiates products and models.

The Role

Prolific AI Research (PAIR) is the AI research group at Prolific (https://labs.prolific.com/). We're seeking a Forward Deployed Researcher to serve as Prolific's technical research partner to AI labs and enterprise customers. You'll work directly with customers on AI evaluation and data collection projects - advising on methodology, designing frameworks, and delivering research engagements end-to-end as part of our services team. You'll contribute to how organizations approach evaluation, alignment, and human data challenges while shaping Prolific's own capabilities. Your work will directly impact how we understand, evaluate, and improve AI systems through high-quality human data.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Serve as Prolific's technical research partner on customer engagements with AI labs and enterprise AI teams
  • Advise and prototype bespoke solutions like evaluation methodology, rubric design, data collection approaches, quality frameworks, verifiers and validation frameworks, as well as RL environments
  • Own methodology for projects—from scoping through delivery—working alongside our services team
  • Build trusted relationships with customer research and engineering teams
  • Surface patterns from customer work that should become platform capabilities, partnering with Product and Engineering to shape roadmap priorities
  • Work with Services and Account teams to qualify opportunities and shape proposals
  • Share learnings across the Research Engineering function to strengthen our collective expertise
  • Contribute to Prolific's research publications and external collaborations as opportunities arise
  • Collaborate with product teams to translate research insights into practical applications
  • Mentor team members on advanced AI concepts and emerging research
  • Communicate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

  • 3+ years of experience in AI/ML research, research engineering, or applied ML
  • Strong knowledge of LLM evaluation methodologies, data collection design, and human feedback approaches
  • Experience designing AI-assisted or model-in-the-loop workflows—you think creatively about where AI can augment human judgment
  • Track record of executing research or applied AI/ML projects with clear outcomes
  • Can build quickly when needed—you're comfortable prototyping solutions and building your own tooling
  • Strong communicator across contexts—you can hold your own with AI lab researchers, translate methodology into actionable recommendations for customers, and bring internal teams along on what matters and why. Prior customer-facing or consulting experience is a plus but not required.
  • Based in US, Canada, or Mexico (or able to work US timezone hours)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
