Civic and Public Administration Expert

**Role Overview**

our client is partnering with leading AI labs on **Project Atlas**, an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We're seeking experienced civic and public-administration professionals from **federal agencies, large state and city governments, and major federal contractors** (e.g., Deloitte GPS, Accenture Federal, Booz Allen, Leidos) to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI.

You'll bring your expertise in public-sector program management, policy implementation, procurement, or public-finance administration to build a high-fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and workflows of a modern government enterprise, and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today.

**Key Responsibilities**

• Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day-to-day, the policy memos, program plans, budget justifications, RFPs, constituent correspondence, council / board materials, performance reports, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work, with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., Salesforce Government Cloud / Granicus, Socrata / ArcGIS Hub, DocuSign)

• Design multi-step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents

• Collaborate with other civic and public-administration experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other's scenarios for realism and rigor

• Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for public-sector agent benchmarks

• Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking, the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems

**Ideal Qualifications**

• 3+ years of full-time experience at a **federal agency, large state / city government, or major federal contractor**

• Background in one or more areas such as:

• Federal program management, policy implementation, or performance reporting (GPRAMA)

• Government procurement / contracting (FAR, DFARS, state procurement)

• Public finance, budgeting, or grants management

• Public safety, social-services, or licensing / benefits administration

• Legislative affairs, intergovernmental relations, or municipal operations

• Certifications a plus: PMP, CGFM, FAC-C / DAWIA

• Day-to-day use of Salesforce Government Cloud / Granicus, Socrata / Esri ArcGIS Hub, and DocuSign

• Strong analytical thinking and writing, able to translate public-sector workflows into structured task specs

**Compensation Note**

• **Task Completion Pay:** Competitive and based on task quality (~$850, $1000 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves)

• **Performance Bonus:** Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per task rate!

• **Hourly Opportunity:** Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput.
