About the Role

We're looking for detail-oriented reviewers to help evaluate the quality of AI benchmark tasks. Each task gives you a question, a proposed "gold" answer, and a rubric of claims describing what a correct answer should contain. Your job is to judge whether that rubric actually holds up — not to write new content, but to critically audit work that's already been built.

Day to day, this looks like:

This is evaluative, judgment-driven work rather than open-ended coding or writing. If you enjoy code review, QA, or grading/auditing other people's work, this will feel familiar.

Average task time is expected to be around 20 minutes.

• Reviewing each rubric claim and judging whether it's clear, specific, and actually verifiable — or vague, redundant, and unusable.
• Marking each claim as pass, fail, or flagged for follow-up, with a short written reason.
• Spotting requirements that don't actually connect to the question or the answer.
• Double-checking that the "gold" answer is actually correct before treating it as ground truth.
• Giving an overall accept or reject call on the task, backed by your specific findings.

Required

• Based in North America
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent completed degree)
• At least 3 months of prior experience doing human-data / annotation / AI-training work of any kind
• At least 1 year of software engineering experience outside of human-data work (any language or stack is fine — no specific tech stack required)

Strongly preferred

• Direct experience grading or auditing rubrics, benchmarks, or "golden set" answers against a reference or acceptance criteria
• Experience critically reviewing someone else's work product — flagging missing requirements, vague criteria, or incorrect reference answers
• A track record of writing clear, evidence-backed feedback rather than simple pass/fail calls with no explanation
• Prior experience as a task reviewer or QC lead on another data-annotation project
• Prior experience specifically on coding-related annotation projects

Compensation & Pay

• Paid per completed, accepted task (not hourly)

Requirements

CS degree, 1+ yr software engineering experience, 3+ months human-data/annotation experience, North America-based
