The work feeds directly into training next-generation AI systems, so your domain knowledge matters more than any AI background. You will connect personal financial accounts through Plaid and use Gmail and Google Drive to share documents for review. All personal data is sanitized before any downstream use.

Who Should Apply
This role fits someone who has filed 2025 U.S. taxes and can talk through the steps, forms, and edge cases without hesitation. You should be at ease connecting personal financial accounts through Plaid and sharing documents from Gmail or Google Drive. Candidates who have scored outputs against a rubric, done data annotation, or worked on RLHF projects tend to pick up the evaluation format fast. The role is less suitable if you have never filed a U.S. tax return or if you are uncomfortable linking personal accounts for a project. A common reason applicants get rejected is that they list tax knowledge but cannot point to a specific 2025 filing they completed. Another is skipping the rubric or annotation experience, which is central to how this work is scored.
