Computer Science & IT Team Lead

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Computer Science & IT Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across computer science, IT, software, systems, and technical AI training projects. You will review AI-generated computer science/IT 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 technical accuracy, conceptual correctness, code and systems reasoning, terminology quality, troubleshooting logic, security awareness, 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 computer science/IT expertise, strong English communication skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote technical teams.
