Summary

About the role We're building datasets used to train AI models, and we're looking for a detail-oriented specialist to prepare, review, and quality-check that data.

What you'll do - Prepare, label, and structure datasets for model training - Review and edit written content for accuracy, consistency, and clarity - Apply detailed annotation guidelines precisely, and flag ambiguities and edge cases rather than guessing - Perform quality checks on your own work and, over time, on others' - Communicate daily on progress, blockers, and guideline questions Requirements (non-negotiable) - NDA: You must be willing to sign an NDA before starting. All work and materials are confidential. - English (C1 or above), written and spoken. You'll be reading, writing, and judging nuanced English text daily. - Exceptional attention to detail. This work lives or dies on precision. Small inconsistencies compound across a dataset. - Availability: 8+ hours per day overlapping US Eastern Time, Monday–Friday. Nice to have - Experience with AI/ML projects, data annotation, RLHF, or prompt engineering - Software development background in any language - Experience working from detailed style guides or annotation manuals Details - Rate: $3–$10/hour - Hours: ~40 hours/week - Duration: Ongoing, long-term How to apply Applications missing any of the below will not be reviewed. 1. A short written response (150–250 words): Describe a project where accuracy mattered and how you caught errors others missed. Be specific about what the error was and how you found it. 2. A video introduction link - 60-90 seconds, unlisted (Loom, Google Drive, or unlisted YouTube all work). Please cover: who you are and your relevant experience, and your typical available working hours in US Eastern Time. Speak unscripted - we're assessing spoken English fluency, not production quality. 3. Your available working hours in US Eastern Time, written out in your proposal. Please start your proposal with the word "Precision" so we know you've read this through. Screening questions 1. What are your typical available working hours, in US Eastern Time? 2.
