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.

This is an exciting opportunity to work directly with frontier AI companies, making critical technical decisions that balance scrappy startup execution with scalable, reliable engineering, as Prolific revolutionizes research for the AI community. You'll will have regular in person collaboration with customers and our US team, as well as collaborate closely with our UK-based tech teams.

In this role, you will operate with high ownership and a product mindset, at start-up pace, to solve customer problems and capture business opportunities irrespective of the technology required to do so.

You will be part of a cross-functional Product Engineering team, optimised for the success of a single customer group. You will collaborate directly with account managers, customer success specialists and customers to deeply understand their problem spaces. You will ideate and build with autonomy, supported by a high-performing team.

This role will see you work across Prolific domains to solve customer problems, needing you to get up to speed quickly and deliver across shared codebases to a high engineering standard. You will also help support our systems in production & respond to incidents when required.

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.
