The work
Your judgement is the training signal.
Models get better when skilled people check, rank, correct and challenge them. These are the main kinds of work you could do.
Model evaluation & RLHF
Compare model responses, rank them against a rubric and explain why. Your judgement is the signal models learn from.
- Preference ranking
- Rubrics
- Rationales
Code & software engineering
Write, review and debug code that trains and tests coding models — from algorithms to full-stack tasks and tool use.
- Code review
- Debugging
- Test writing
Red teaming & safety
Probe models for weaknesses, edge cases and unsafe behaviour, and document what you find so it can be fixed.
- Adversarial prompts
- Policy checks
- Risk notes
Prompt & dataset writing
Author challenging prompts, reference answers and multi-step tasks that stretch what a model can currently do.
- Prompt design
- Reference answers
- Task design
STEM & reasoning
Create and verify maths, science and logic problems with correct, step-by-step solutions.
- Math
- Physics
- Proof checking
Multilingual & linguistics
Evaluate fluency, tone and cultural accuracy across languages, and help models work well beyond English.
- Translation QA
- Localisation
- Fluency
Expertise
