In this role, you will apply your domain expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will directly shape how machine learning models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

• Contribute to the design and review of test materials that evaluate AI capabilities in summarizing and reporting tasks typically performed by federal personnel.
• Engage in feedback cycles to refine prompts, responses, and grading rubrics based on project needs and model performance.
• Leverage back-office and communication experience to simulate weekly, monthly, and ad hoc reporting formats familiar to federal organizations.

 

Requirements:

• Core expertise in military writing, federal documentation standards, report generation and evaluation, and grading rubric development.
• In-depth understanding of Department of Defense procedures, federal compliance best practices, and collaborative remote work workflows.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with clear attention to detail, audience-appropriate tone, and DoD-specific terminology.
• Must be US-based with a strong understanding of federal compliance, reporting requirements, and official documentation workflows.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Former federal contributor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), with at least 3 years of relevant staff writing or reporting experience.
• Experience producing key reporting artifacts such as Weekly Activity Reports (WARs), Situation Reports (SITREPs), executive summaries, and similar standard formats.
• Background in one of the six branches of the U.S. military, with diversity of experience across different roles and units preferred.
• Familiarity with back-office tools and processes, including the production and formatting of PowerPoint briefings, memos, Excel summaries, and related documentation.
• Strong analytical skills for evaluating and providing constructive feedback on AI-generated staff writing outputs.

 

Benefits:

• Top-tier competitive hourly compensation ($40–$90/hr).
• 100% remote flexibility (US-based).
• High-impact opportunity to apply DoD staff writing and defense documentation expertise toward training enterprise AI systems.
