AI Evaluation & Annotation Specialist (Entry-Mid Level) - Japanese (USA)

Are you curious, detail-oriented, and excited about shaping the future of artificial intelligence?

We're looking for AI Evaluation & Annotation Specialists to help train and improve Large Language Models (LLMs). In this role, you'll review AI-generated responses, provide corrections, evaluate quality, and follow structured guidelines to ensure accuracy and consistency.

No engineering background required — if you enjoy problem-solving, analyzing language, and following structured tasks, this role is a great fit.

This is a hands-on, production-based role where accuracy, focus, and consistency matter.

What You'll Do

• Review AI-generated responses and rate them for clarity, correctness, and relevance
• Annotate and label content based on project-specific guidelines
• Follow detailed written instructions and apply them consistently
• Generate or evaluate prompts depending on assignment type
• Work with QA Leads to apply feedback and continuously improve task quality
• Report completed work daily and meet productivity and quality standards
  

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You're detail-oriented and enjoy accuracy-based work
• You can follow instructions carefully and apply them consistently
• You're comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• You have strong reading comprehension and critical thinking skills
• You communicate clearly and respond to feedback professionally
  

Experience with annotation, evaluation, translation, linguistics, or QA is helpful, but not required — training and guidance is provided.
