About the Role

We are seeking experienced Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from psychology, social work, counseling, qualitative research, human-computer interaction (HCI), communication, conflict resolution, coaching, and related advisory fields to support AI conversation evaluation research. You will review conversations between people and AI models, assess whether the AI gathered sufficient context before making recommendations, identify missed opportunities for clarification, and provide structured feedback to improve conversational quality. The ideal candidate has at least 3–5 years of relevant professional experience, strong analytical and interviewing skills, and the ability to distinguish essential, decision-changing information from details that are less relevant to a recommendation.

Key Responsibilities

• Review AI conversations involving interpersonal relationships, workplace situations, education, family matters, everyday planning, wellbeing, and other real-world decisions.
• Evaluate whether the AI gathered sufficient context before providing advice, recommendations, or proposed solutions.
• Identify missing information and suggest relevant follow-up questions that could improve the quality of the AI's response.
• Assess whether additional context would materially change the recommendation or decision.
• Distinguish between load-bearing information that could change the outcome and non-essential or merely descriptive details.
• Conduct qualitative reviews using structured evaluation guidelines and document findings consistently.
• Identify missed opportunities for clarification, contextual understanding, and information gathering.
• Consider relevant personal, psychological, social, financial, practical, and organizational factors when evaluating conversations.
• Collaborate with research teams to maintain consistent evaluation standards and high-quality assessments.
• Complete assigned tasks accurately within the required project timelines.
