Overview

You will use your editorial expertise to score and critique model outputs, helping train next-generation AI systems. This is a remote contractor role with no prior AI experience needed. Your domain knowledge in journalism, technical writing, and content evaluation is what matters most.
What You'll Do7
- 1Review multiple AI-generated responses to writing prompts, comparing clarity, tone, helpfulness, and adherence to instructions.
- 2Assign analytical quality scores to each response and write concise rationales that explain your reasoning.
- 3Spot writing that sounds persuasive but includes inaccuracies, lacks support, or drifts from the brief.
- 4Identify factual errors, logical gaps, and internal coherence issues in written content.
- 5Document evaluations using digital content review platforms and project tools.
- 6Collaborate asynchronously with project managers and reviewers to keep evaluation standards consistent.
- 7Work independently to complete assigned evaluations within project timelines.
Requirements7
- 1Native or near-native written fluency in English, with a university degree from an institution in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand.

- 3Proven expertise in technical writing, content evaluation, critical analysis, and written communication.
- 4Experience editing or fact-checking others' work against a style guide or editorial standards.
- 5Strong attention to detail and ability to judge writing for accuracy, clarity, and audience suitability.
- 6Comfort working independently and delivering high-quality assessments remotely.
- 7Experience with annotation, AI model evaluation, or digital content review platforms is a plus but not required.
Who Should Apply
This role fits writers and editors with a professional background in journalism, fact-checking, or technical writing who can spot factual errors and logical gaps in persuasive prose. The ideal candidate holds a degree from a US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand university and has edited or fact-checked against a style guide. It is less suitable for those without native-level English writing skills or without editorial experience. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot provide concrete examples of fact-checking or editing work, or when their writing samples show weak critical analysis. A lack of familiarity with digital review platforms can also lower fit, though it is not mandatory.
