Web Research Specialist About the Role We are building an evaluation benchmark for frontier AI browsing agents. Your job is to design research problems that a state-of-the-art AI cannot solve, even with full web access and multiple attempts. This is not a subject matter expert role, nor is it a content-writing role. It is investigative research. You will start from a verifiable fact, work backwards to construct a question that makes that fact extremely hard to locate, and then prove your work with a complete, auditable evidence trail. What You Will Produce A natural-language research question with a short, stable, objectively verifiable answer Clues, each independently checkable, spanning multiple fact types - including dates, people, places, organisations, works, events, records, and quantities - with specific constraints A validation record showing the obvious searches you ran and the results they returned Minimum Qualifications Master's OR >3 YOE. Demonstrated open-web research ability, including locating primary records and navigating government and institutional databases, archives, registries, and PDF documents Precision with sourcing. You cite exact pages, tables, and sections—not just homepages Comfort researching unfamiliar subjects from scratch Native or near-native written English High tolerance for structured documentation. The evidence trail is the majority of the work Experience with LLM evaluation, red-teaming, or benchmark construction Experience in one or more of the following domains: Reference librarianship, archival research, or special collections Investigative journalism or professional fact-checking OSINT, due diligence, KYC, or investigative research Patent, prior-art, or legal-discovery search Genealogy and records research Competitive quizzing or puzzle-hunt construction Nice to Have Experience with LLM evaluation, red-teaming, or benchmark construction Familiarity with JSON and structured data delivery formats Application Process Complete the assessment shared with you.

Hi, research questions a frontier browsing agent can't solve, each with a short checkable answer. The difficulty has to sit in where the fact hides. How we would build one: start from a primary record, say a table in a scanned annex, then work backwards, layering constraints across dates, people, places and quantities until no obvious query lands on it. Each clue checked on its own, cited to a page or table. Then the validation log: the obvious searches run, with what each returned. How many items per batch? Retrieval for AI assistants is our day job, so this is the same problem from the other side. Happy to run the assessment first. Regards, Digitalizers

Hello, I am interested in this role because it combines investigative web research, evidence verification, and AI evaluation rather than conventional content writing. I hold a PhD in Computer System Engineering and have extensive experience in academic research, technical review, structured evidence analysis, AI/ML evaluation, and developing rigorous reference solutions. For this role, I can contribute by: Designing difficult but objectively verifiable research questions Working backward from a known fact to construct multi-clue research tasks Locating and cross-checking evidence across primary and secondary web sources Navigating PDFs, institutional sites, reports, registries, and structured online records Documenting exact source locations, page numbers, tables, and sections Recording failed/obvious search paths to demonstrate benchmark difficulty Producing structured, reproducible evidence trails and JSON-style outputs where required Evaluating whether frontier browsing agents can reliably recover the intended answer My strength is in rigorous verification and methodological precision: I am comfortable distinguishing confirmed evidence from inference and documenting the full research path so another reviewer can audit it independently. I would be happy to complete the assessment and demonstrate my approach on a sample benchmark task. Best regards, Dr. Tufail Muhammad

Hello, I’m Hafsa Altaf, a research and content writer with experience in academic research, web research, source verification, and working with databases, scholarly sources, and PDF documents. I’m particularly interested in this role because it focuses on investigative research rather than conventional content writing. I enjoy starting with limited information, following connections across multiple sources, verifying facts, and documenting a clear evidence trail that can be independently audited. My research work has strengthened my ability to search unfamiliar topics from scratch, identify reliable and primary sources, cross-check information, and accurately document supporting evidence. I’m comfortable working with detailed research requirements and maintaining precision in citations and source records. I’m also interested in AI evaluation and the challenge of creating research questions that require genuine multi-step investigation rather than simple web searches. I meet the requirement of Master’s degree and 3+ years of relevant experience and would be happy to complete the assessment to demonstrate my research abilities. Thank you for considering my application. Best regards, Hafsa Altaf

I propose designing challenging, objectively verifiable research questions by starting from a concrete fact and working backward to create queries that are difficult to solve through conventional searches. I would document every clue and primary source precisely, including relevant pages, sections, dates, records, and quantities, while maintaining a reproducible and auditable evidence trail. I would also test obvious and alternative search strategies to identify shortcuts, ambiguities, and potential failure points for AI agents. My approach combines open-web research, cross-source verification, and structured documentation, with a strong focus on accuracy, traceability, and reproducibility.
