About the role

Location: Remote, US-based preferred.

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is ideal for those with a background in complex interviewing or intelligence collection, and a keen ability to interpret subtle verbal and behavioral cues. Your written and verbal communication skills will play a pivotal role as you document your reasoning and analysis for technical and non-specialist audiences alike.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct or assess structured elicitation and interview sessions to extract accurate and relevant information from varied subjects.
  • Establish rapport with participants to encourage open communication without applying pressure or coercion.
  • Analyze responses in real-time, reading tone, pacing, and nonverbal cues, and dynamically adjusting questioning strategies.
  • Assess the internal consistency, reliability, and potential evasiveness of responses, providing confidence assessments for each interaction.
  • Identify and annotate emotional and motivational drivers influencing participants' responses.
  • Document your analytical reasoning in a clear, traceable manner to support downstream review and learning.
  • Score or annotate sessions according to a detailed rubric, maintaining objectivity and consistency across multiple cases.

Preferred skills

  • Expertise in real-time interpretation of paralinguistic and nonverbal cues (tone, pacing, hesitation, gestures).
  • Demonstrated ability to clearly justify analytical reads in writing, not just by intuition.
  • Exceptional written English skills with a focus on clarity, precision, and defensibility.
  • Familiarity with data annotation, AI model evaluation, or after-action/assessment report writing.

Experience and education

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of experience in professional interviewing, intelligence elicitation, or investigative questioning (e.g., military HUMINT, law-enforcement interviewing, skilled negotiation).
  • Training in recognized interviewing methodologies such as the PEACE model, cognitive interviewing, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience working with diverse populations or through interpreters.
