Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical, systems-minded Subject Matter Expert (SME) to join our core centralized AI Data Services division in a flexible, part-time remote contract capacity across India, focusing on Telugu localization streams. Moving completely away from traditional text-matching translation or superficial sentence proofreading, you will step up to claim individual operational accountability for evaluating, refactoring, and benchmarking state-of-the-art AI model behavior within highly specific professional silos. Operating as an advanced data trainer and technical validator, you will sit inside a sandboxed ecosystem to review machine outputs against complex operational criteria across Quantitative (Software Engineering, Robotics), Scientific (Healthcare, CAD Optimization), or Corporate (Finance, Media) frameworks. This freelance track requires a technical veteran with 5 plus years of dedicated field history who interprets workflow logic fluidly, designs complex test scenarios smoothly natively using AI Engineer concepts, and audits cultural data accuracy confidently.

Key Responsibilities

• Localized Scenario Architecture: Design, document, and execute highly realistic, complex case scenarios in your target language (Telugu) or English, grounded strictly in practical, enterprise-grade operational contexts natively utilizing AI Engineer frameworks.
• Structured Evaluation Rubric Adaptation: Configure, update, and deploy structured evaluation rubrics and performance scorecards to benchmark AI-generated responses against professional industry baselines.
• Factual Accuracy and Realism Audit: Meticulously review, correct, and audit machine and human-generated content pieces, checking for rigid factual precision, industry-specific quality, and professional operational realism.
• Sandboxed Code Verification: Onboard onto sandboxed infrastructure cells to analyze, run, and refactor automated software blocks, verifying runtime execution code as an authoritative Coding Mentor within technical silos.
• Gold-Standard Dataset Formulation: Synthesize, structure, and contribute to “gold standard” reference solutions and fine-tuning blocks that accurately reflect modern best practices inside your specific professional target domain.
• Linguistic Drift and Appropriateness Control: Intercept and clean translation defects, messaging drifts, or contextual mismatches, ensuring absolute cultural appropriateness across target locales.
• Asynchronous Project Self-Direction: Maintain true independent contractor autonomy, scaling your operational workload capacity up or down across diverse pipelines without requiring rigid corporate micromanagement.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5 plus years of verified professional history running advanced software engineering, robotics research, quantitative financial analysis, clinical healthcare practice, or manufacturing systems design.
• Deep, authoritative technical command of professional domain-specific workflows, industrial nomenclature, regulatory data restrictions, and enterprise tool execution paths.
• Expert-tier capability reviewing transactional text blocks, mapping workflow constraints, and managing preference datasets natively utilizing AI Engineer or machine learning trainer evaluation frameworks.
• Mandatory Bilingual Competency: Native-level command of the **Telugu** language coupled with strong, uncompromised professional proficiency in written and spoken English, enabling absolute accuracy when translating complex data logic.
• Practical operational familiarity navigating technical interfaces, executing code scripts, or examining database queries inside virtual sandboxed frameworks natively using Coding Mentor paradigms.
• Demonstrated history working successfully within distributed expert groups, remote freelancer communities, or client-facing consulting architectures.
• Outstanding written communication traits, with a proven history of prioritizing absolute clarity, scannability, and structural documentation over verbose prose.
• Location Context and Setup: Opportunity open exclusively to qualified technical experts based permanently and resident within **India** to operate under a 100% remote independent contractor layout.

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior commercial data engineering history contributing to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) projects, prompt engineering suites, or large language model (LLM) benchmarking networks.
• Direct hands-on experience utilizing Tipalti billing portals to facilitate automated international contractor payment management loops.
• An outcome-driven personal philosophy rooted in high intellectual curiosity, a passion for advancing how humans and machines communicate, and an intense drive to shape the absolute bleeding edge of global language technologies.

What We Offer

• Flexible Independent Contracting Model: Highly competitive independent freelancer hourly or per-task compensation rates, calibrated precisely to evaluate your technical domain authority, language craftsmanship, and data optimization velocity.
• The exceptional professional canvas to directly direct, shape, and code-verify the foundational data layers power-routing enterprise AI transformation loops across global landscapes.
• Profound work-from-home parameters offering a true “your schedule, your rules” system, allowing you to manage your own hours with zero mandatory check-ins or office commuting friction out of any city in India.
• Immediate baseline integration into an elite global community of linguists, software developers, and industry experts advancing human knowledge together.
• Streamlined digital onboarding pipelines and guaranteed, prompt global payment executions processed reliably through integrated automated fintech platforms.
