About the role
This role is a remote contractor position within a fast-growing AI Data Services company. The company delivers training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. The role involves overseeing quality, consistency, and trainer performance across architecture, interior design, urban design, and built-environment AI training projects.
Responsibilities
- Review AI-generated architecture/design content and trainer/QA work, evaluating output quality against project guidelines and providing precise written feedback.
- Evaluate work for design accuracy, spatial reasoning, architectural terminology, building-systems awareness, code/safety sensitivity, sustainability considerations, visual/design logic, clarity, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics.
- Assess work for recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently.
- Lead or support remote teams of designers, reviewers, annotators, educators, visual QA specialists, or domain experts.
- Evaluate AI-generated architecture/design explanations, spatial layouts, design concepts, material recommendations, building-system descriptions, accessibility considerations, and design reasoning for accuracy and practicality.
- Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around spatial logic, design terminology, accessibility, sustainability, construction feasibility, materials, and rubric interpretation.
- Schedule and run onboarding/training calls with trainers and QAs to explain project expectations, workflows, rubrics, quality standards, and architecture/design-specific review requirements.
- Ensure all trainers and QAs apply architecture/design review guidelines consistently and understand updates as projects evolve.
- Identify recurring quality gaps, propose workflow improvements, and help build scalable QA processes for architecture/design AI training projects.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or professional degree in Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Design, Industrial Design, Planning, or a closely related field.
- Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear written feedback.
- 3+ years of experience in architecture, design, interiors, urban design, design research, construction documentation, teaching, design review, visualization, or related built-environment workflows.
- Strong understanding of design principles, spatial organization, circulation, scale, proportion, materiality, accessibility, sustainability, building systems, construction logic, and design communication.
- Ability to evaluate architecture/design content against detailed rubrics and identify issues such as impractical layouts, poor spatial reasoning, code-insensitive suggestions, weak design rationale, accessibility gaps, unsafe assumptions, or unrealistic construction recommendations.
- Familiarity with tools or methods such as AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, BIM, construction drawings, precedent analysis, site analysis, rendering, or design presentations is preferred.
- Experience leading or supporting remote teams of designers, reviewers, annotators, educators, visual QA specialists, or domain experts.
- Comfortable working in fast-moving remote environments using tools such as Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems.
- Highly detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, calibration tasks, and documentation.
- Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, design QA, visual review, architectural review, or rubric-based review is a strong plus.
