About the Role

Join Mindrift as a Customer Support Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer, a project-based opportunity designed for professionals with expertise in customer service, banking, or financial services. This role is ideal for individuals seeking flexible, non-permanent work with leading tech companies, where you will contribute to the development, testing, and enhancement of AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

As a contributor, you will play a pivotal role in shaping AI systems by performing tasks such as:

• Fee Inquiry and Statement Clarification: Develop scenarios to verify the accuracy of fee amounts against disclosed schedules and distinguish between legitimate descriptor-mapping questions and potential fraud claims.
• Autopay and Payment Setup: Create scenarios with intentional traps, including incorrect payee details, insufficient funds policies, incorrect draft dates, or missing confirmation steps, to test AI responsiveness and user guidance.
• Card Replacement and Fraud Claims: Design scenarios that assess AI performance in recognizing urgency, capturing intake information, and facilitating smooth handoffs to disputes teams during card-block incidents or fraud claims.
• Account Closure: Author scenarios to evaluate AI handling of retention offers, pending transaction checks, and eligibility logic, ensuring adherence to policy constraints.
• Response Evaluation: Grade AI-generated responses based on factual accuracy, conversational tone, empathy under pressure, and appropriateness for the communication channel (voice, chat, etc.), while avoiding over-promising outcomes.

• Current or recent hands-on experience in customer support, banking, financial roles, or closely related fields;
• Strong judgment in routing issues, including the ability to interpret fee schedules or policy documents to apply the correct rules;
• Background in QA analysis, call-center training, or conversation design is highly advantageous;
• Fluency in written English at a C1+ proficiency level.
