Job description

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Paralegal Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated legal support responses and/or create expert paralegal content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step task execution while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in legal terminology, procedural steps, document structure, issue spotting, and citation/authority handling (where applicable); fact-check legal-adjacent information; write high-quality explanations and model outputs that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your legal expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their legal reasoning more accurate, reliable, and clearly explained.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard paralegal deliverables (document templates, checklists, research summaries, drafting examples).
• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve correctness, clarity, formatting, and procedural usefulness.

• 4+ years of professional experience as a paralegal or legal assistant (law firm, in-house, or public sector).
• Strong command of legal support workflows: intake, fact gathering, document drafting, version control, and matter organization.
• Proven experience with legal research and summarizing authorities (cases, statutes, regulations) clearly and accurately.
• Familiarity with litigation processes (pleadings, discovery, subpoenas, motion practice support) and/or transactional workflows (contracts, corporate filings), depending on lane.
• Exceptional attention to detail: spotting inconsistencies, missing facts, formatting issues, and ambiguous wording; minimum C1 English proficiency.
• Comfort working with confidentiality requirements and handling sensitive information appropriately.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
• Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, document QA, legal ops, or editorial review is strongly preferred.
