Professionals: Designing Challenging AI Prompts
Boost your chances before you apply.
Terac
US
Summary
You will design complex AI prompts to test model limitations and create grading rubrics to evaluate AI performance. The process involves screen-recording your thought process while you refine prompts based on system failure points.
Job Description
What We're Researching
We're running a paid study to build a bench of people who are exceptionally good at designing tasks that expose AI model limitations. By turning real-world workflows into demanding requests, we can better evaluate where current models break down. This initial trial helps us identify individuals suited for ongoing prompt engineering and evaluation work.
How It Works
You will spend about an hour translating a complex workflow from your job or personal life into a demanding prompt that requires reasoning and real-world lookup. After running it in ChatGPT to identify where the model fails, you will refine the prompt until it breaks the system. Finally, you will write a clear grading rubric that a stranger could use to evaluate any AI's attempt at your task. This entire process is screen-recorded, as we are assessing your thought process just as much as the final submitted files.
Who This Is For
We welcome professionals, domain experts, and power users who have deep knowledge of specific workflows. You need to be capable of evaluating an AI's output within seconds and comfortable working on a laptop or desktop with a ChatGPT account. Candidates who excel at this trial will be considered for a long-term bench of evaluators.
What You'll Do
-
Pick a familiar workflow and convert it into a demanding AI prompt
-
Test your prompt in ChatGPT to find failure points, making it harder if the AI succeeds
-
Write a comprehensive rubric for grading the AI's performance
-
Share your screen, camera, and microphone while completing the task
-
Submit your prompt, failure notes, rubric, and the generated output file
Who Should Apply
-
Deep familiarity with a specific professional or personal workflow
-
Ability to quickly evaluate the accuracy and quality of AI outputs
-
Access to a laptop or desktop computer
-
An active ChatGPT account
-
Comfortable being screen-recorded while thinking through complex tasks

Terac is building the infrastructure layer that connects AI systems with on-demand human expertise.
We believe the future of work is shifting: instead of humans using AI to do most tasks, AI will increasingly do most work with the help of humans. In that world, companies won’t need traditional employees - but they will still need people. Terac powers that future by making high-quality human labor accessible through a single API.
Today, Terac operates as an expert network for frontier research. We handle sourcing, verification, screening, and payouts so partners can instantly access specialized talent for research, evaluation, and data generation. Our platform enables companies to tap into niche expertise on demand while focusing on building their core products.
Backed by $9M from Emergence, SignalFire, Audacious, and Z Fellows, we’re scaling from research tooling into a broader marketplace for the human data economy - building systems for expert matching, pricing, routing, and trust that will define how AI and humans collaborate at scale.
