We focus on high-quality data annotation, RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), and model evaluation across various domains, ranging from STEM and software engineering to linguistics and data science.
Position Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly analytical Junior Data Analyst based in the United States to join our growing remote team.

Data Quality Assurance: Audit, clean, and validate large datasets generated by our network of AI trainers and domain experts to ensure high precision and adherence to guidelines.
Performance & Metrics Tracking: Analyze annotator accuracy, turnaround times, and throughput using SQL, Python, and BI dashboards to help optimize operations.
Pipeline Optimization: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Operations, AI Specialists, and Product) to identify bottlenecks in data labeling pipelines and recommend data-driven solutions.
Reporting & Dashboards: Build, maintain, and update daily/weekly operational reports and dashboards for internal stakeholders and client leads.
Guideline Calibration: Analyze edge cases and error patterns in dataset outputs to help refine project annotation instructions and rubrics.

Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (Pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, complex formulas).
Analytical Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills with a high degree of attention to detail when working with complex datasets.
Communication: Ability to clearly translate data findings into actionable insights for non-technical team members.
Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
