Apply detailed style guidelines consistently across varied writing tasks
Provide structured, actionable feedback using evaluation tools and rubrics
Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

Native or near-native English fluency with strong command of grammar and style
Naturally detail-oriented with a consistent, systematic approach to quality
Able to evaluate and articulate what makes writing clear, compelling, or flawed
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
Comfortable covering a broad range of topics and writing styles
No prior AI, journalism, or content moderation experience required

Nice to Have

Background in writing, editing, copywriting, journalism, or communications
Experience with proofreading, content quality assurance, or editorial review
Familiarity with AI tools or content platforms as an end user

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
