About the role You will judge what a language model produces - ranking responses, applying safety policy and writing the preference data that model training runs on About the role You will judge what a language model produces - ranking responses, applying safety policy and writing the preference data that model training runs on. The work is careful reading and consistent judgement, at volume, against a rubric that keeps moving as the policy sharpens. What you will do Review and rank model responses for helpfulness, accuracy and safety against a written rubric. Apply trust & safety policy to borderline content and record why a call was made, not only what it was. Flag rubric gaps and recurring ambiguity so the guideline gets fixed rather than worked around. Take part in calibration sessions and golden-set checks that keep judgement consistent across the team. Maintain the quality bar under deadline without drifting from the rubric. What you will bring Strong reading comprehension and written English - this is the core skill of the role. Evident care with detail and the patience for repetitive, judgement-heavy work. Willingness to have your judgement measured, discussed and corrected in calibration. A bachelor's degree in any discipline, or equivalent experience. This role is open to candidates early in their career; the training is provided. Helpful, not required: content moderation, editorial, teaching, linguistics or translation experience, or a second Indian language.
