About This Role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Bash Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Bash/shell scripting AI training projects. You will review AI-generated Bash code and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that contributors follow expected quality standards. You will assess work for script correctness, command safety, portability, debugging accuracy, error handling, security awareness, readability, maintainability, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role is a fast‑growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation‑model labs. Your Bash quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that shell‑scripting training data is accurate, executable, safe, clearly explained, and aligned with client expectations. Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain‑specific task, and an interview with a recruiter. Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

• Experience leading or supporting remote teams of trainers, reviewers, engineers, or QAs is strongly preferred.
• Comfortable with Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, GitHub, and PM systems.
• Highly detail‑oriented and organized; able to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials.
