The role
You'll design realistic legal tasks that a qualified professional could solve with the right knowledge and tools, and that today's AI models get wrong. Each task is built around a scenario we provide. You create the working documents someone in your role would actually handle, write the request, solve it yourself and define how the answer gets graded. Your work becomes evaluation and training data for frontier models.
You don't need an AI background. You do need to be the kind of legal professional who checks the amendment before relying on the agreement, and notices when a deadline has moved.
Areas we're hiring for
Civil litigation: paralegal and litigation support work across discovery and productions, privilege review and logs, depositions, pleadings and motions, subpoenas, dockets and deadlines under federal and local rules
Corporate and M&A transactions: transactional paralegal work on due diligence, data rooms, disclosure schedules, signature pages and closings, entity records and cap tables, and purchase and merger agreements
Commercial contracts: contract managers, specialists and administrators who review and redline against playbooks and handle MSAs, amendments, renewals and notice periods, obligation tracking and procurement or vendor contracts
Privacy and data subject requests: privacy and data protection analysts who fulfill access and deletion requests end to end, maintain data maps, ROPAs and retention schedules, and apply GDPR and CCPA in practice, not only in policy
What you'll do
Build realistic evidence files from a provided scenario: services agreements and amendments, email threads, pleadings and discovery requests, privilege logs, docket entries, closing checklists and disclosure schedules, signature packages, cap tables, contract playbooks and redlines, request intake records, data maps and retention schedules
Write clear task requests that state what the deliverable is and how uncertainty and justified assumptions should be handled
Solve each task end to end and document a reference solution with the reasoning behind every step
Write explicit scoring criteria that let two independent graders reach the same verdict, including acceptable alternative answers and the limits of what the solver is authorized to decide
Run tasks against current models, find where and why they fail, and adjust difficulty
Check your own and peers' tasks for legal accuracy, ambiguity, answers exposed in the materials and shortcuts that skip the intended reasoning
Incorporate reviewer feedback within agreed turnaround times and flag guideline gaps or edge cases you run into
Who we're looking for
Required
3+ years of hands-on experience in one or more of the four areas above, as a paralegal, legal assistant, contracts manager or specialist, privacy or data protection analyst, or attorney. You need to have done the work yourself, not only supervised it.
Working knowledge of the rules, procedures and documentation standards that govern your area (for example federal and local court rules and discovery practice, closing mechanics, contract playbooks and CLM workflows, GDPR and CCPA request handling)
Careful reading, and the habit of citing the clause, message or docket entry behind every conclusion
Clear, precise writing in professional English
Ability to work independently and asynchronously against deadlines Nice to have Paralegal certification (for example NALA CP or NFPA RP), a law degree, CIPP/US or CIPP/E, or a contract management credential Experience with the systems used in your area, such as Relativity, Everlaw or DISCO, a virtual data room, Ironclad, Icertis, Agiloft or Conga, or OneTrust, TrustArc or Transcend Law firm, in-house and legal operations experience across more than one setting Prior experience writing or reviewing AI evaluation tasks, exam questions, case studies or training material Familiarity with how AI models fail (fabricated citations, misread clauses, miscounted deadlines, overconfident conclusions)
