How to Apply for the AI QA Trainer (LLM Evaluation) and Linguistics Expert (SME) Role
The application process for the AI QA Trainer and Linguistics Expert roles is the same; only the job descriptions are different. While the AI QA Trainer role pays $6-$65 per hour (depends on geographical location and experience), the Linguistics Expert role pays between $25-$100 per hour (also depends on geographical location and experience).
Understanding the Role
The AI QA Trainer position is geared towards the following responsibilities:
- Assessing whether model responses follow instructions and maintain factual consistency;
- Detecting hallucinations, contradictions, and missing reasoning steps;
- Identifying instances of bias, safety concerns, or ethical problems;
- Stress-testing models by evaluating how they respond to adversarial or unusual prompts;
- Reviewing the model’s logical flow, coherence, and ability to handle multi-step tasks; and
- Supporting the creation of test plans or evaluation guidelines when needed.
The role is well suited for ANYONE. Familiarity with QA principles and prompt-based evaluation is an added advantage.
