Job description

Role Overview

This is a remote, hourly contractor position for an Architecture & Design Quality Assurance Lead. The role focuses on keeping architecture, interior design, urban design, and built-environment AI training work accurate, consistent, and aligned with project standards. You will review AI-produced content and the work of trainers and QA contributors, then provide detailed written feedback to maintain high quality across the workflow.

The position sits within a fast-scaling AI data services environment that supports major AI companies and foundation-model teams. Your contribution will help improve AI output by ensuring the training data is practical, visually coherent, context-aware, and technically sound.

Please note that there is no active project available immediately for this role. If you are a fit, you may be contacted first when relevant opportunities open up, and you may also gain access to future projects through the expert network.

What You Will Do

Review architecture and design items for accuracy, consistency, and alignment with the project rubric.
Check AI-generated responses covering layouts, concepts, materials, building systems, accessibility, and design logic.
Provide clear written feedback and surface repeated issues or critical mistakes.
Keep trainers and QA contributors informed about guideline changes, workflow updates, and quality expectations.
Answer questions related to spatial reasoning, terminology, sustainability, construction feasibility, and rubric interpretation.
Reach out to inactive contributors, encourage reactivation, and track follow-ups when needed.
Prepare and maintain project materials such as style guides, trackers, FAQs, examples, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding documents.
Run onboarding and training sessions to explain expectations, review standards, and workflow steps.
Make sure reviewers apply the same standards consistently as the project evolves.
Flag unsafe, impractical, inaccessible, misleading, or poorly grounded recommendations.
Look for recurring quality gaps and suggest process improvements that strengthen QA operations.

Required Background

A bachelor’s, master’s, or professional qualification in Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Design, Industrial Design, Planning, or a closely related discipline.
At least 3 years of experience in architecture, interiors, urban design, design research, construction documentation, teaching, design review, visualization, or similar built-environment work.
Strong command of English for following instructions and producing precise written feedback.
Good understanding of design principles, spatial planning, circulation, scale, proportion, materiality, accessibility, sustainability, building systems, construction logic, and design communication.
Ability to judge architecture and design content against detailed scoring criteria and identify weak reasoning, unrealistic assumptions, unsafe suggestions, or code-insensitive ideas.
Comfort with tools and methods such as AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, BIM, construction drawings, precedent analysis, site analysis, rendering, and design presentations is preferred.
Prior experience guiding remote teams of designers, reviewers, annotators, educators, or domain specialists is strongly preferred.
Confidence working in a fast-paced remote environment with tools like Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems.
Strong organization and attention to detail, especially for maintaining documentation, FAQs, style guidance, and calibration materials.
Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, visual QA, architectural review, or rubric-based review would be a strong advantage.

Selection Process

The hiring process includes an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and a conversation with a recruiter.
