What We Do

At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in using the power of collective human intelligence to ethically shape the future of AI.

Who We’re Looking For

Calling all security researchers, engineers, and penetration testers with a strong foundation in problem‑solving, offensive security, and AI‑related risk assessment. If you thrive on digging into complex systems, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, and thinking creatively under constraints, join us! We’re looking for someone who can bring a hands‑on approach to technical challenges, whether breaking into systems to expose weaknesses or building secure tools and processes. We value contributors with a passion for continuous learning, experimentation, and adaptability.

About The Project

We’re on the hunt for hands‑on Python engineers for a new project focused on developing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and internal tools for running and evaluating agent behavior. You’ll implement base methods for agent action verification, integrate with internal and client infrastructures, and help fill tooling gaps across the team. Although we’re only looking for experts for this current project, contributors with consistent high‑quality submissions may receive an invitation for ongoing collaboration across future projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

Developing and maintaining MCP‑compatible evaluation servers

Implementing logic to check agent actions against scenario definitions

Creating or extending tools that writers and QAs use to test agents

Working closely with infrastructure engineers to ensure compatibility

Occasionally helping with test writing or debug sessions when needed

Requirements

4+ years of Python development experience, ideally in backend or tools

Solid experience building APIs, testing frameworks, or protocol‑based interfaces

Understanding of Docker, Linux CLI, and HTTP‑based communication

Ability to integrate new tools into existing infrastructures

Familiarity with how LLM agents are prompted, executed, and evaluated

Clear documentation and communication skills – you’ll work with QA and writers

We Also Value Applicants Who Have

Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar structured agent‑server interfaces

Knowledge of FastAPI or similar async web frameworks

Experience working with LLM logs, scoring functions, or sandbox environments

Ability to support dev environments (devcontainers, CI configs, linters)

JS experience

Benefits

Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $80/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs

Take part in a flexible, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments

Participate in an advanced AI project and gain valuable experience to enhance your portfolio

Influence how future AI models understand and communicate in your field of expertise
