The job description

About the Role

We're looking for experienced writers and editors to help evaluate and improve AI-generated content at a high level. This is not routine proofreading — you'll be making nuanced editorial calls, providing structured feedback, and helping set the quality bar for AI language outputs across complex and ambiguous content.

Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and produces sophisticated, well-crafted English — work that matters at scale.

What You'll Do

Evaluate AI-generated writing for clarity, tone, structure, and accuracy
Make nuanced editorial decisions on complex or ambiguous content
Provide clear, structured rationale for edits and quality assessments
Review content for consistency across large-scale writing projects
Maintain high editorial standards independently and asynchronously

Who You Are

Advanced English writer and editor with a strong command of style, tone, and structure
Holder of a Master's Degree or higher in English, Humanities, Journalism, or a related field
Exceptionally detail-oriented with sharp editorial judgment
Comfortable working independently on complex, open-ended tasks
Based in the United States

Nice to Have

Experience in publishing, content strategy, academic writing, or editorial QA
Familiarity with style guides (AP, Chicago, MLA, etc.)
Background in evaluating or coaching writing at scale
Prior experience with AI content evaluation or annotation workflows

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and the satisfaction of meaningful work
Contribute to improving how AI communicates in English at a global scale
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
