Screening
The page asks you to submit an interest form first, then receive a personalised sign-up link. It looks for formally trained musicians or theorists, and says hobbyists or pure performers are not a fit.
Role details
Outlier is seeking music experts to design challenging theory problems, develop verified solutions, and evaluate AI-generated musical work. The listed pay is up to $320 USD per task, plus additional incentives the page describes. Work is remote, with no minimum hours stated. The page also notes a master’s degree requirement in its summary line.
The work described is to design genuinely difficult, realistic problems, write a correct solution and an automated checker, test the task against frontier models, and refine it so leading models still struggle with it. Skills named on the page include SATB four-part harmony and voice-leading, Roman-numeral analysis, or audio-to-notation transcription.
