Combat Arms and Targeting SME (English)

You will help train AI systems by reviewing military scenarios and model-generated responses. The work focuses on careful judgment, clear reasoning, and documentation of difficult cases.

You will assess whether responses provide valid conceptual, policy, readiness, or evidence-curation support, or cross boundaries into inappropriate operational or destructive assistance.

• Map military activity scenarios to an approved classification system.
• Identify boundaries involving operational decision support, destructive execution, autonomous weapons, and unlawful planning.
• Create difficult boundary cases that less-experienced reviewers may misclassify.
• Evaluate source handling, uncertainty, reasoning quality, stated limits, and operational usefulness.
• Find cases where an AI system incorrectly refuses valid conceptual or policy questions.
• Document edge cases, gray areas, and disagreements in a clear answer key.
• Help improve project guidelines using expertise in operational fires, targeting, and military decision-making.

This is a part-time contractor role at the entry level. The work requires substantial practical experience in military fires, targeting, or weapons-employment decisions, along with the ability to explain judgments clearly.

You apply here in about two minutes and finish on the hiring platform. The next step is a short AI interview (technical roles include a coding challenge). Passing it is how you qualify for paid tasks, so take it soon after you are invited.

AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including reviewing model responses and rating their quality. People with deep subject knowledge are needed to judge difficult cases and help make AI outputs more accurate, useful, and responsible.
