AI labs and the companies building on them need people who actually know what a SAR shadow, an MGRS grid or a Jenks break is. The GeoBit Expert Network is a vetted bench of GIS, remote-sensing, GeoAI, GEOINT and 3D specialists who take hourly engagements — evaluations, annotation, red-teaming, analysis — on their own terms. You set your rate. You pick the engagements. We handle the contract and the invoice.
Not a job board. Not a recruiter. A bench: you get on it once, and engagements come to you.
Two minutes. Your track, tools, years, asking rate, availability, timezone and languages. Citizenship and clearance are optional, but some scopes require them.
Six knowledge questions on your track and three short applied tasks, one of which is grading a flawed AI answer. About 45 minutes. Your link is personal and valid for 14 days.
The knowledge part is scored the moment you submit and you see it on screen; the written part is graded against a rubric and your full score out of 100 arrives by email. The bar is 90. Clear it and a GeoBit analyst reads your written work before you go on the bench.
When a scope matches your track, rate and hours, we email it to you. Accept or decline. Work is hourly, approved weekly, paid through GeoBit.
Twelve tracks: five geospatial, seven security, intelligence and operations. Start where you are strongest. Each track has its own short assessment, and you can join more tracks later from your profile. Already on the network? Sign in to add a track.

No. It is hourly contract work through GeoBit. You keep your job, your practice or your studies and take engagements that fit around them.
AI labs and their data vendors, geospatial and earth-observation AI companies, and security teams that need spatial analysis. You will always know who the end client is before you accept.
Grading model outputs, writing rubrics, annotating imagery, building geolocation benchmarks, red-teaming geospatial models, producing verified assessments. Structured, scoped, hourly.
As an independent contractor, on client-approved hours, through GeoBit. You never chase the client. Rates are what you ask; if we think you are underpricing yourself, we will tell you.
No. Most work has no such requirement. Some scopes do, so we tag it at intake and only ever show those scopes to eligible experts.
If you simply live or work somewhere we watch, and would answer one question now and then about what you can see from where you are, that is the Ground Network. Voluntary, at no charge, no obligation.
Your profile and resume are stored to match you with engagements and shown to clients only as an anonymized shortlist until you accept. Email us any time and we delete everything.
Your profile lives in your GeoBit account: name, email and phone to create it, then your resume, photo, tracks and rate in your profile. Our team reviews it and gets back to you by email.
