What the work involves

You build and score the veterinary reasoning tests frontier labs run against their models. A typical unit of work starts with a case you author from scratch — signalment, history, presenting signs, physical exam findings, and whatever diagnostics a real clinic would plausibly have — followed by a reference answer that lays out your differentials in priority order, the reasoning that ranks them, and a treatment plan with actual drugs, actual doses, and actual routes. The reference answer is the graded artefact, so it has to be defensible to another clinician, not just correct in outline.

The other half is grading. You read model responses against your rubric and mark where they fail: a differential list that ignores species, a dose that would be fine in a dog and lethal in a cat, a confident recommendation of a drug that does not exist, xylitol or lily toxicity missed entirely, or advice that quietly assumes the animal is human. Flagging is not enough — you write the specific reason, citing the mechanism or the dosing reference, because the annotation is what the lab trains on.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable licensure. DVM or VMD with an active, unencumbered US licence. Expect to state the jurisdiction and licence status plainly.
  • Real caseload depth. Screeners probe pharmacology and dosing hard, usually with a follow-up that changes the species and asks what changes with it. Vague answers collapse fast under that.
  • Toxicology and safety instinct. Whether you spontaneously reach for the toxic differentials and the narrow-margin drugs.
  • Written clinical reasoning. Can you make your thinking legible to a non-veterinarian reviewer without dumbing it down.
  • Honest availability. Ten hours a week, sustained, on your own schedule.

Logistics

Fully remote and fully async — no shifts, no on-call, no live sessions with a lab. You pick up batches, submit work, and set your own hours each week. Pay is hourly via Stripe, disbursed weekly, in the observed $95–145 band; placement within it generally tracks specialty credentials and scarcity of species expertise rather than negotiation. Board certification or residency training (ACVIM, ACVECC, ACVS), ECC caseload, and exotic, equine, or production animal experience are preferred, not required, and tend to route you toward higher-value task queues.
