In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Compliance & Regulatory Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated compliance, regulatory, and risk-related outputs and/or create expert compliance content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step decision-making while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in regulatory interpretation, policy/control design, compliance monitoring logic, reporting/disclosure requirements, and risk-based reasoning; fact-check compliance claims and terminology; write high-quality explanations and model outputs that demonstrate correct approaches; 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard compliance outputs (policies, control descriptions, monitoring plans, risk assessments, regulatory summaries).
• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve correctness, defensibility, clarity, and practical usefulness.
• Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, unsafe/noncompliant guidance, misleading certainty, and bias; validate reliability across scenarios.

• Strong command of compliance fundamentals: risk-based compliance programs, control design, monitoring/testing, issue management, remediation tracking, and documentation standards.
• Experience interpreting regulations and translating them into policies, procedures, training, and operational controls.
• Familiarity with common frameworks and concepts (as applicable): GRC tooling, ISO-style controls, SOC 2 awareness, SOX awareness, AML/KYC basics, privacy concepts (GDPR/CCPA), vendor/third-party risk.
• Excellent judgment in identifying missing assumptions, overconfident claims, and “false certainty” in regulatory guidance; minimum C1 English proficiency.
• Strong writing skills: ability to produce clear, defensible documentation (policies, SOPs, control narratives, risk assessments).
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
