About this job

You pick the stronger sample or flag a tie or an unsuitable pair, after checking that the technical explanations are correct. It suits people who have built or led developer documentation and can judge whether a technical explanation is actually right.

What you'll do

  • Compare two AI-generated developer documentation samples against a client brief and style guide.
  • Check that commands, terminal output and technical explanations in each sample are correct.
  • Select the preferred sample or flag a tie or unsuitable pair, with a one-line reason and tags.
  • Pass a calibration test on known answers before moving to live data.
