Description
About the Role
DataAnnotation is seeking experienced legal professionals to join as contract contributors.

•Annotate and rank model outputs to guide AI training and improvement

•Flag errors, misconceptions, or ambiguous outputs and provide corrective guidance
•Maintain consistent quality and throughput throughout the sprint engagement
Qualifications
•Demonstrated legal experience (litigation, corporate/transactional, compliance, or similar); does not need to be a currently practicing attorney
•J.D. and bar admission not required, though preferred - practical legal expertise matters more than credentials
•Strong written communication skills; ability to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely
•Comfortable working independently in a remote, self-directed environment
•Based in the United States, Canada, the UK, or Australia
•Has a general understanding of LLM use/ the AI landscape
Compensation & Terms
•Pay is $50-$100+/hr, with bonus rates available on some projects
•Paid on a regular cadence; contract position
•Fully remote — work from anywhere in the United States, Canada, the UK, or Australia
