Role details
As an hourly paid, fully remote JavaScript Engineer for AI Data Training, you will review complex AI-generated code and explanations or generate new ones, evaluate the reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving, and provide expert feedback that helps models produce answers that 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. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation model labs. Your work will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models while giving you the flexibility of impactful, detail-oriented remote contract work.
Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
