Are you a master of environmental science fluent in French eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of research, policy support, and sustainability innovation. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can drive environmental education, improve regulatory compliance, and support conservation efforts worldwide. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for environmental specialists who live and breathe climate change, environmental impact assessment, pollution control, ecosystem management, biodiversity conservation, sustainability metrics, and environmental policy—especially with knowledge of regulations and practices in French-speaking regions. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like carbon accounting, life cycle analysis, environmental remediation, water and air quality monitoring, renewable resource management, environmental justice, and circular economy principles—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model in both English and French on real-world environmental scenarios and theoretical questions, verify factual accuracy and logical consistency, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A master’s degree in environmental science, ecology, environmental engineering, or a closely related field is ideal; fluency in French, field or regulatory experience, and familiarity with region-specific environmental assessments, sustainability reporting frameworks, and conservation strategies signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.

Ready to turn your environmental expertise and French fluency into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $8-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
