Job description

Are you a training and development expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of organizational growth and skill building. With high-quality training data, tomorrow's AI can democratize world-class education, accelerate professional development, and streamline learning programs for businesses everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for training and development specialists who live and breathe instructional design, curriculum development, adult learning theory, e-learning platforms, performance evaluation, talent development, and training program management. You'll challenge advanced language models on topics like learning needs analysis, competency modeling, facilitation techniques, blended learning strategies, employee engagement, and training effectiveness measurement - documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real-world training scenarios and theoretical questions about adult education, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A bachelor's or masters in education, human resources, organizational development, or a closely related field is ideal; professional certifications, training facilitation experience, or hands-on instructional design projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication - "showing your work" - is essential.

Ready to turn your training and development expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow's AI?

We offer a pay range of $8-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you'll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
