The Role

As the Strategic Projects Lead, you will oversee extensive coding data initiatives spanning weeks to months for elite AI and platform teams.

  • Creating rubrics and audit processes to ensure that code annotations and model labels meet production quality standards.

  • Developing scripts and infrastructure using Python, TypeScript, and SQL to automate quality assurance, analytics, and reporting.
