About the role

Obsidian is seeking senior public interest law professionals to design evaluation tasks for AI systems used in civil rights, environmental, and public advocacy contexts. You will craft scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics reflecting how senior public interest attorneys think. The role spans US federal civil rights statutes, NEPA, Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, alongside international human rights law and EU directives.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
