About this role
Shape how advanced AI systems handle real-world legal work. You will partner closely with an AI research team to translate specialist legal judgment into high-quality tasks, model instructions, reference solutions, and evaluation benchmarks.
Key Responsibilities- Review legal knowledge-work tasks and model outputs, identifying missing behaviors, weak reasoning, and responses that would not meet professional legal standards.
- Create detailed instruction specifications, authoritative reference solutions, and legal tasks grounded in actual practice.
- Design demanding legal evaluation sets and help develop legal-specific model skills and tools.
- Calibrate quality standards with researchers and adjacent-domain specialists, converting professional legal judgment into clear, teachable evaluation criteria.
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school. Graduation from a highly ranked law school is strongly preferred.
- At least 5 years of substantive post-qualification practice at a reputable law firm, corporate legal department, regulatory body, or court. Internships and clerkships alone do not qualify.
- Specialization in at least one substantive area, such as corporate and transactional law, litigation and dispute resolution, regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, employment and labor, or tax.
- Demonstrated progression to a senior role, such as partner, of counsel, counsel, senior associate, senior in-house counsel, or general counsel, with meaningful ownership of legal matters.
- Active admission to at least one U.S. state bar and good standing.
- Professional experience using large language models and the ability to distinguish sound legal reasoning from plausible but incorrect answers.
- Excellent written communication and the ability to provide precise, well-structured feedback.
- Full-time W-2 position, with a 40-hour weekly commitment for an initial 6-month engagement.
- Hybrid role based in the Bay Area, California. Work on-site with the client team multiple days each week when required.
- This is not a remote position. Candidates must live in the Bay Area or relocate there at their own expense before the engagement begins. Relocation assistance is not available.
- Client-issued accounts and equipment will be provided, and work will be performed within the client’s tools alongside its research team.
- This is a structured role integrated with internal enterprise workflows, not a freelance or project-based engagement.
$60 to $100 per hour.
