We're the research arm of Contra. We run model evals across image, video, and web design, publish field notes, and partner with frontier AI labs to test what's coming next. The Network is who we hire for that work.

Designers, engineers, prompt writers, video editors, illustrators, and creative directors. We hire by skill. Your work matters more than your résumé.

Pick a role card to start. Each application takes about 10 minutes: a portfolio link and a few taste questions. If there's a fit, we send a paid trial brief within two weeks.

Up to $100/hr depending on role and seniority. Some briefs are flat-fee per deliverable. Paid through Contra, no platform fees taken from your rate.

We match briefs to people based on the work you've shown us and your intake answers. You can pass on anything that doesn't feel right.

Yes. Authorship stays with you. If your work appears in a Labs publication, you get a byline.
