This is a remote, flexible contract role (10–20 hours/week) with weekly payouts via Stripe Connect. You’ll collaborate asynchronously with a cohort of experts, creating gold-standard problems, solutions, and rubrics that test reasoning and rigor beyond rote memorization.
Applicants should demonstrate excellent English, high attention to detail, and comfort working in an independent, research-driven environment. Preferred locations: U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, or New Zealand.
