Summary

About this role

In this hourly-paid, fully remote contractor role, you will review AI-generated responses and/or generate language content, evaluate reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving, and provide expert feedback so outputs are accurate, logical, and clearly explained. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in methodology or conceptual understanding; fact-check information; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. You will apply senior-level Japanese localization/translation judgment alongside Minimum C1 English proficiency to ensure terminology, tone, and cultural nuance are consistently correct across use cases. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and a subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your work directly helps improve the world's premier AI models.
