About the role

Cost Estimator is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across cost estimation workflows. Reviewers grade workflow correctness, policy adherence, and stakeholder fit; flag operational risk; and document the right next step so the modeling team can train on it.
Cost estimation AI has to fit into an actual day at work. AuraOne uses experienced operators to grade outputs the way a senior peer would — checking workflow, policy, and the unwritten rules that decide whether a task actually gets done.
Judge tool-use tasks and enterprise agent behavior. Operational judgment is the skill.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current cost estimation workflows, playbooks, and firm policy for Cost Estimator assignments.
• Grade tone, escalation logic, and stakeholder fit on a structured rubric.
• Flag operational risk, missed escalations, and policy-adherence gaps with severity tags.
• Capture the right next step so the modeling team can train on it.
• Adjudicate disputed treatments against published playbooks or firm guidance.

• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

• Grade a model's response to a real cost estimation ticket and rate workflow, tone, and escalation.
• Flag a missed escalation with the right severity tag and corrected next step.
• Adjudicate a disputed playbook call between two reviewers using firm guidance.
• Audit a 25-row batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.

Useful experience

• Prior experience training, calibrating, or QA-ing operations teams.
