Job description

Who are we?

Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. We like to work hard and move fast to do what’s best for our customers.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.

Join us on our mission and shape the future!

Why this role?

We are on a mission to build machines that understand the world and make them safely accessible to all. Data quality is foundational to this process. Machines (or Large Language Models to be exact) learn in similar ways to humans - by way of feedback. By labelling, ranking, auditing, and correcting text output, you will improve Large Language Model’s performance for iterations to come, thus having a lasting impact on Cohere’s tech.

This role will have you focus on science, math, logic and reasoning. You will teach the Cohere model how to perform across a variety of different functions and logic.

Please Note: This is a part-time independent contractor position available within Canada only. We seek candidates who are able to commit to 20 hours per week minimum at a $30/hour contract rate. This role is BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (laptop). Remote work within Canada or the US is permitted. Performance incentives included!

As a Senior Data Quality Specialist in Quantitative Reasoning, you will:

• Label, rank, audit, and correct machine learning data with a focus on math-related content.

• Complete reading or math-based tasks in an efficient and attentive manner.

• Complete preference-based tasks to evaluate which responses best follow our style guide.

• Recommend optimization opportunities and provide feedback to cross-functional team members.

• Maintain close attention to detail while performing repetitive and precise tasks.

You may be a good fit if you have:

• Subject matter expertise in quantitative reasoning (advanced, university level) - you have both studied in these fields and have practical experience applying them in a workplace.

• Strong reading and writing skills - which you are ready to prove on our written test.

• Some experience working with structured data (ex. csv, json etc).

• Deep attention to detail and commitment to accuracy - you’re the type to proofread all of your emails!

• High tolerance for repetitive and monotonous work.

• Ability to follow complex instructions, navigate ambiguity and work independently.

• Superb sense of urgency and time management.

• A reliable laptop to work from.

The Candidate Journey:

1. Initial Screening -Once you have submitted your application our Talent Team will review your resume and writing samples.
2. Virtual Annotation Test -This assignment will test your written skill through various language-based tasks, such as a writing sample, interacting with a chat bot, and more.
