English Quality Assurance Lead (QAL)

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as an English Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across AI training projects. You will review AI-generated English content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and help ensure that all contributors follow the expected standards.

You will assess work for accuracy, clarity, reasoning quality, grammar, tone, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role requires strong English skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote teams.

Your quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that training data is accurate, consistent, well-documented, and aligned with client expectations.

Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and an interview with a recruiter.
