Scale is at the forefront of powering AI and LLMs across multiple industries. Our thesis is that to build exceptional LLMs you need exceptional human beings to train them. Humans are essential in providing the best training data for these models, and Scale operates the largest network of humans in the world to provide this training data.

You will be responsible for executing on developing our training curriculum, helping design and refine our training materials, monitoring the efficacy of our training, and brainstorming and iterating on how we can improve.

The ideal candidate has a strong entrepreneurial mindset, is high-ownership and comfortable working in ambiguity, is exceptionally personable, and is passionate about helping people learn.

Help investigate the most pressing challenges with delivering high-quality data + the most common errors our contributors make and why
Develop scalable training materials including videos, slide decks, quizzes, and more to teach our contributors how to produce great training data
