Job Description
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as an Anthropology Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across anthropology-focused AI training projects. You will review AI-generated anthropology content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards. You will assess work for anthropological accuracy, cultural context, theory application, ethnographic sensitivity, methodological rigor, ethical awareness, bias sensitivity, terminology quality, clarity, 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 requires strong anthropology expertise, strong English communication skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote expert teams. It 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 anthropology quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that anthropology training data is accurate, culturally sensitive, ethically aware, research-informed, 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.
