R Engineer

As a remote, hourly paid R Engineer, you will review AI-generated responses and generate high-quality R and data-analysis-focused content, evaluating the reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving behind each solution. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in statistical methodology or data-wrangling workflows; fact-check analytical results; write expert-level explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct use of R; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This contract role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation model labs, directly helping to improve the world’s premier AI models.

Important:
