Apply project rubrics consistently and provide clear written feedback explaining why content is safe, unsafe, incomplete or technically incorrect

Ensure content uses precise nuclear terminology and communicates risk without exaggeration or minimization

Escalate ambiguous, high risk or potentially harmful content for additional review per project guidelines

Contribute across adjacent chemical, biological and radiological content where your background supports it

Qualifications Needed

Must be a citizen of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand

A bit about us:

We are partnered with a fast growing AI data services company that builds the training and evaluation data behind many of the world's leading AI labs and foundation model developers. Their work sits where technical expertise meets model safety, bringing in specialists from nuclear engineering, radiation science, chemistry, biology and emergency response to evaluate how AI systems handle high consequence subject matter. The experts on these projects determine where these models should answer, where they should decline, and how they should reason about nuclear and radiological risk. They operate remotely across time zones and build their review teams around people who are already practicing in their field. We are helping them identify nuclear engineering specialists for this engagement.

Why join us?

Competitive Hourly Compensation: Up to $100 per hour as an independent contractor

Paid Onboarding: You are paid for the onboarding program, not only for project work

No Interview Process: Candidates we put forward go directly into paid onboarding

Keep Your Current Role: Structured as supplemental work. No requirement to leave your position

100% Remote, Flexible Hours: Set your own schedule and volume across time zones

Direct Impact on Nuclear Safeguards: Your judgment determines where these models draw the line on nuclear and radiological questions

Work Inside Your Expertise: Technical review and reference writing in your own discipline, not general purpose data work

Growing Engagement: An expanding program with continued need across all four CBRN domains
