About This Role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Chinese Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Simplified Chinese AI training projects for Mainland China.

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 is a fast-growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Simplified Chinese quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that Chinese training data is natural, accurate, culturally appropriate, well-documented, and aligned with client expectations.

This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
