• Evaluate AI responses for technical accuracy, practicality, and compliance with real-world requirements
• Draft realistic platform engineering scenarios based on your direct professional experience
• Create scenario variations from different perspectives (e.g. platform engineer, developer, operations, or stakeholder)
• Identify gaps, oversights, or weak reasoning in AI-generated engineering content

In simple terms: You will assess and improve AI-generated content, ensuring it reflects true platform engineering reasoning, authentic documentation, and practical procedures. Rather than conducting traditional client projects, you’ll apply your expertise to help AI systems understand and reason about platform engineering at scale.

Who You Are

• A senior-level platform engineer with significant professional experience within the EU or UK
• Experienced in advising on, preparing, and executing platform engineering projects, including deployment, scaling, and infrastructure design

• Comfortable working independently and providing structured, critical feedback
• Available for 8–20 hours per week, with prompt availability

Why Join?

• Flexible, fully remote freelance work that fits your current commitments
• Apply your platform engineering expertise in a rapidly evolving, high-impact AI environment
• Directly contribute to building advanced AI-powered engineering systems
• Free access to our in-house AI Academy to further develop your AI skillset
• Clear onboarding, structured tasks, and ongoing opportunities for collaboration

How to apply

To complete your application, you’ll receive an email right after applying with a link to:

• A short written evaluation
• A brief AI-powered interview

Important: Your application is only complete once you finish all steps via the email link. These are ongoing freelance opportunities and project assignments are matched based on expertise, availability, and AI Lab needs.

Please note: these AI Lab missions are not traditional job openings with fixed start dates. Project demand is highly dynamic and matching depends on your expertise, availability, and current AI Lab needs. Some experts are matched within days, while others may wait longer for a suitable project.

Join us to help shape the platform engineering expertise of the world’s most advanced AI models!

NOTE

At 10x, there are two types of opportunities:

1. Traditional freelance missions

These are regular project-based opportunities where the listed mission is the actual project you may work on.

1. AI Lab roles

For AI Lab roles, we scout, review, and approve profiles for access to future project opportunities.

The missions listed for AI Lab roles are not traditional job openings. AI Lab work is often highly confidential as this exposes information of what an AI Lab is working on, and project requests are unpredictable. When an AI Lab request comes in, we often need to respond within 24 hours with suitable talent.

Matching depends on the specific needs of each AI Lab project and your niche expertise. Once your profile is reviewed and approved, you may be matched to relevant AI Lab projects when suitable opportunities arise.

This can happen within hours, but it may also take months, depending on the researchers at the AI labs and their project needs.
