About the Job:

As an AI Evaluator (both English and Hindi) you will work to help state-of-the-art generative AI models perform better using your language and critical thinking skills.

• Formulate appropriate strings for fact-checking and web research that helps them find the right sources quickly.
• Recognize any differences between the text in the input passage and the text generated in the response, thus identifying input issues.

• Workflow-related: understand complex Guidelines instructions, ask well-formulated questions, leave informative justifications and task comments.
• Understand the client platform and follow team level protocols (like how/when to access the task, etc.).
• Strong logic, intuitive problem-solving and critical thinking; adaptability to the needs of the task. The candidate needs to be open-minded and welcome different viewpoints or solutions.
