• Detail-oriented and systematic — you hold work to a high standard

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning workflows in a biomedical context
• Background in pharmacology, epidemiology, or regulatory affairs

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems that are reshaping clinical and biomedical research
• Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence at scale
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
