About this job

This freelance role asks senior machine learning practitioners to write step-by-step reasoning traces that record how an expert plans, uses tools, and decides through hard technical problems, so that large language models learn to reason the same way. It suits people with deep ML or AI systems backgrounds who can explain their thinking clearly and work independently on open-ended tasks.

What you'll do

  • Write detailed reasoning traces that document planning, tool use, and decisions on technical tasks.
  • Capture expert-level judgment so traces show how an expert thinks, not only the final answer.
  • Design data strategies that help LLMs handle nuanced, real-world scenarios more reliably.
  • Review and refine existing traces for structure, clarity, and logical coherence.
