- Provide structured, high-quality feedback that directly improves AI model performance
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are

- Familiarity with EHR systems and clinical documentation standards (e.g., ICD, CPT, SNOMED)
- Strong attention to detail and ability to apply guidelines consistently
- Comfortable working with complex, nuanced datasets
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- No prior AI or annotation experience required — training provided
Nice to Have
- Experience with medical coding (CPC, CCS, or similar certifications)
- Background in clinical informatics, health information management, or medical transcription
- Familiarity with NLP or AI data labeling workflows
Why Join Us
