Job description

Role Title: Lawyer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Engaging lawyers to contribute their subject-matter expertise in support of a customer's project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is tailored for US-based legal professionals with backgrounds at top-tier law firms, seeking to leverage their advanced skill set in a collaborative, technology-driven context.

Scope of Work

  • Conduct comprehensive legal analysis on a variety of US law topics, providing nuanced insights and guidance.
  • Perform in-depth legal research to support project objectives and ensure current, accurate information is utilized.
  • Draft, review, and edit legal content, including memoranda, opinions, contracts, and other relevant documents.
  • Assess and provide structured feedback on legal texts for clarity, accuracy, and alignment with best practices.
  • Participate in remote, multidisciplinary collaboration to refine project deliverables and address complex legal scenarios.
  • Contribute to content quality assurance by spotting errors, inconsistencies, or ambiguities in legal materials.
  • Apply meticulous attention to detail to maintain exceptionally high standards in all submissions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active license to practice law in the United States with strong academic credentials.
  • Current or prior experience at a top-tier US law firm, with exposure to varied practice areas.
  • Proven abilities in legal analysis, research, and drafting across a range of legal subjects.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated experience in legal content review.
  • Track record of successful remote collaboration and participation in multidisciplinary projects.
  • Experience with quality assurance and rubric-based evaluation of legal documents is a plus.
  • Demonstrated commitment to precision, accuracy, and upholding legal best practices in all work.
