About the Role
What if the streets you know by heart — the shortcuts, the landmarks, the businesses that moved or closed — could directly improve the AI tools that millions of people use to navigate the world every day?
We're looking for Map & Location Data Analysts to verify and improve AI-generated geographic data. Your local knowledge isn't just useful here — it's your biggest asset. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with a sharp eye for detail and familiarity with their local area. No GIS or geography background required.
What You'll Do
- Verify AI-generated addresses, place names, and geographic data for accuracy
- Evaluate the quality of location-based search results and recommendations
- Flag incorrect, outdated, or misleading location information
- Apply your local and regional knowledge to provide meaningful context and corrections
- Complete structured, task-based assignments using maps and web-based location tools
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Familiar with your local area — streets, neighborhoods, landmarks, and businesses
- Detail-oriented with a natural ability to spot errors and inconsistencies
- Comfortable using online maps and web-based tools
- Clear and concise in written communication
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- No GIS, geography, or AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with mapping tools such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or OpenStreetMap
- Background in travel, logistics, local journalism, or urban planning
- Familiarity with multiple cities, regions, or countries
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
- Contribute to AI development that directly shapes how people find and navigate the world
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
