Agentic Automation Consultant | Remote | US
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Agent Automation Consultant to design, build, and deploy AI agents that automate Mind Moves’ internal operations. This is not a role where you use AI to work faster – it’s a role where you build AI that does the work and recursively improves.
You’ll take operational workflows – contractor onboarding, staff time allocation, subcontract reviews, market-rate research, process documentation, and more – and decompose them into agent architectures: skills, tools, evals, memory, and orchestration layers that run with minimal supervision and get better over time.
We’re a small team and you’ll have real autonomy. Your job is to take Mind Moves from “AI-assisted operations” to “agent-operated operations”.
This is a fixed-term contract focused on standing up the foundational layer: identifying the highest-leverage workflows, building the first generation of agents, and leaving behind reusable infrastructure and documentation the team can build on.
You’ll collaborate with client leads, business operators, other consultants, and the Mind Moves project team. Interface with world-renowned professionals, make a real difference for scientific discoveries with an opportunity to upskill with concrete experience in the AI space. You’ll be on the leading edge of new tech, in a creative space, shaping and steering future development in health and medicine.

Data Annotator | Remote | US
At a Glance
We need human curators to develop a range of biomedical question and answer datasets for AI research. Learn how trustworthy AI systems are built and contribute your scientific expertise to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
About the Role
Mind Moves is seeking 20+ independent Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop a benchmark evaluation dataset for AI systems operating over the biomedical literature. As these systems become integrated into research and clinical workflows, rigorous assessment of their safety, factual accuracy, and scientific reliability requires expert-authored ground truth.
SMEs will independently create authentic biomedical information needs and reference responses grounded exclusively in evidence from scientific literature resources PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC), following standardized annotation guidelines. The resulting benchmark will provide a transparent, reproducible resource for evaluating AI systems’ ability to retrieve, synthesize, and accurately communicate biomedical evidence.
Please note that accepting work on this contract makes you ineligible to participate in the Challenges competition.
Contract Engagement
This is a project-based, hourly contract engagement supporting a defined research project in AI-powered health. This is a short-term contract assignment and is not intended to lead to full-time regular employment.
Engagement Details
- Project Duration: September–November 2026
- Expected Commitment: Approximately 10-20 hours per week, with a flexible remote schedule.
- Compensation: $30 per hour.
- Contract Location: Remote, based in the US.

Biomedical Subject Matter Expert | Remote | US
Program Overview
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is planning to launch Biomedical AI Challenges — a structured prize competition program designed to catalyze innovation in AI-powered tools for biomedical research infrastructure. The program comprises two parallel challenge competitions (total prize pool: $500,000) focused on: (1) improving AI-enhanced semantic search across PubMed/PMC, and (2) establishing foundational data interoperability by mapping raw, cohort-specific dbGaP study variables directly to precise, standardized international vocabularies/ontologies (such as LOINC, RxNorm, and the UMLS Metathesaurus).
Position Summary
The Biomedical Subject Matter Expert (SME) serves as a senior scientific advisor and technical authority to provide expert guidance on evaluation framework development, benchmark dataset validation, and scientific review panel activities. The Biomedical SME contributes meaningfully to shaping the scientific integrity and rigor of both challenge tracks.
