I'm Robert, cofounder of Riot IQ. We're building RIOT IQ, a professional online IQ testing and cognitive assessment platform for psychologists, researchers, clinicians, employers, institutions, and curious individuals.

We're US based and 100% remote. We are hiring software engineers, full stack engineers, product designers, design engineers, and AI native fresh grads.

The most interesting project is building an AI based human intelligence predictor using our in house assessment data. That means working with response patterns, timing data, item performance, scoring, validation, dashboards, model evaluation, privacy, and product UX.

You might work on a variety of things as well but all related to predicting human intelligence.

What matters most to us:

1. Strong product sense 2. Clear communication 3. High ownership 4. Taste in software, design, and user experience 5. Fast learning 6. Interest in AI, cognitive science, psychometrics, or research tools

Useful experience includes TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, Postgres, Python, data pipelines, ML workflows, dashboards, edtech, healthcare, or research tools.

Compensation is $90k to $180k depending on role and experience, with equity for the right long term hires. Visa sponsorship is not available right now.

To apply, email [email protected] with your resume or LinkedIn, GitHub or portfolio, and a short note on what you would want to build at Riot IQ.

This is so garbage. OpenAI is never catching up.

IQ Test Platform (https://www.riotiq.com) I've been working 3 years on this. We developed our own professional, modern, proprietary IQ test and IQ testing platform for individuals to test themselves and to administer professional IQ tests to others. Lots of silicon valley folks seem to love it for their startups and hiring, but we built it mainly for IQ researchers from the International Society For Intelligence Research (ISIR) and psychologists.
